M151 Jeeps. National Museum of Military Vehicles.

The M151 "Mutt" entered service in 1959 and carried on into the 1990s.  It had fantastic off road capabilities, and was also fantastically dangerous, given its independent wheel suspension system.

The last Jeep to see general use in the U.S. military, it was replaced by HumVeh's, although speciality vehicles, and even modern commercial Jeeps, continue to see some use.  In these examples, the radio mount for a period radio is displayed.

I personally have a lot of experience from the 1980s, with both the M151, and this model of military radio.

This is a smaller display, adjacent to the larger World War One display.  

The first displayed item is the typical field uniform worn by soldiers in the Border War.  This sweater pattern is unique to the period, the M1910 sweater. The campaign hat is the long serving M1911 campaign hat. Some National Guard units that served on the border were not yet equipped with it.  The saber is the M1913 "Patton" Saber, which was designed, based on a British pattern, by George S. Patton.  For the most part, enlisted men were not allowed to carry their sabers into Mexico, following a tread that had started during the Indian Wars.

The car is a Dodge touring car, perhaps most famously associated with a raid conducted by Patton.  Automobile use was heavy during the Punitive Expedition in spite of it being largely a horse cavalry effort.  Indeed, the Army's 1st Provisional Aero Squadron was committed to the effort largely due it being the only U.S. Army unit that was completely  motorized.

I wasn't even aware of the M-422's existence as a actual service item.  I've seen them on a television series from the 60s and assumed they were just a studio item substituting for a real Jeep.  Offhand, I think that was from The Lieutenant which only had one run, that being in 1963.
