I grew up near a Canadian Forces Base.  Never seen one of those but it is obviously military. (No Plates)  My best guess would be a support vehicle for bridge building.  Notice the large open hole on the back for a PTO.  That and the brackets that accompany it on the back end.  Looks like attachment points for one of a number of items.

With a wheelbase that short that thing would go damn near anywhere.  Not fast I bet though!

Apparently it is a Mexican Military Vehicle. You may find it in other forces as it is basically a Heavy Duty Towing Vehicle. It could be use to attach different modular containers to transport personnel, supplies, communications equipment or even HD weapons.

It's called a Gamma Goat. It's 6wd, (the trailer wheels are driven too). Powered by a 3-53 Jimmy Diesel. Road legal but slow. Goes anywhere. My neighbor has one.

I believe they were used by the US Army. Besides the one my neighbor has I've seen a few of them around over the years. Never on the road though!!
