The reciprocal arrangement by the Soviets was SOXMIS, and all BFG personnel were briefed on how to recognise the vehicles (the large red hammer and sickle on the badge on the door was the principle clue) and report them accordingly. I'm sure for every snippet we got, Ivan was just as busy, and on major FTXs with new equipment east of Hannover you could guarantee a visit from a SOXMIS team. They would delight in driving slowly through convoys, knowing that 300 squaddies would all be reporting the same SOXMIS sighting to the RMP's. Those were the days, a military mission with an objective.
