General

The YAD-4442 is a medium 4x4 utility truck manufactured by DAF based off of the civil DAF F1600 / F1800 series and is in service with various branches of the Dutch military. Although the base model (YA-4440) began production in 1977, the modeled second generation YAD-4442 entered service in 1989 and is available in Steel Beasts Professional as either a cargo or troop carrier.

The cargo version this vehicle provides resupply services for ammunition to the armed vehicles, infantry squads, and missile/HMG teams represented in the simulation and is available to Blue, Red, and other factional forces. Such vehicles will only transport or resupply units of their own side. Thus, another factions vehicle or infantry unit cannot use a Blue YAD-4442 truck, regardless of enemy/neutral/allied status.

Resupply of ammunition can be accomplished by moving the unit that requires replenishment close to the YAD-4442 truck and then waiting. Resupply will automatically commence within a couple of minutes. Note that full resupply may take some time.

The YAD-4442 is crew-able at the Commander's (F7) and Driver's (F9) positions, but not the Squad Leader's position (even if carrying troops). Note that all versions of this vehicle are unarmed.

As a troop transport the YAD-4442 carries a dismount section of 10 men, equipped with 2 M136 (AT-4) light anti-armor weapons, a MG, and 5,56mm rifles.
