It is worth noting that during this time, a certain AW Herrington was employed by the Motor Transport Division of the Quartermaster Corps . While the Standard Fleet did not enter mass production, the vehicles created were instrumental in defining future generations of US Army tactical vehicles. The Standard Fleet had been created with the purpose of crafting vehicles built to wholly military specifications using standardised components, as opposed to the previous process of buying commercial vehicles from a variety of manufacturers – vehicles that might have closely fitted military needs, but were rarely exactly what the US Army wanted. Ultimately however, Congress and the Comptroller General of the United States decreed that the Army could not produce its own vehicles as it had with the Standard Fleet, but rather had to rely on private enterprise for its future needs.
Although those with dual rear wheels faired better, the off-road shortcomings of two-axle vehicles, even 4x4s, were obvious. Accordingly, consideration was given to 6x6 trucks, and in 1933 the Army procured a commercial 2.5-ton 6x6. Designated the TL29-6, this truck was manufactured by the Indianapolis-based Marmon-Herrington Company, which had AW Herrington, no longer in the service of the Army, as one of its principals.
The TL29-6 was not without competition, as Corbitt offered the Army its 168-FD8. These cars were a precursor to the famous CCKWX.

"The U.S. Army Quartermaster Corps (QMC) built trucks for the Army at Ft. Holabird from 1928 to 1932. Herrington was a civilian consulting engineer on this project. There was much opposition from U.S. truck builders to the U.S. government being in the truck building business and taking potential business away from the civilian truck manufacturers. The manufacturers fought this for many years, until they finally put enough pressure on Congress to put an end to the QMC truck building in 1932. Herrington was well aware of the manufacturer's intentions, so in 1930 he left his posion in the QMC. With his knowledge of all wheel drive truck building, he partnered with Walter Marmon in March of 1931 to form Marmon-Herrington.
Marmon-Herrington (M-H) is one of the founding fathers of four-wheel drive, but it’s a name not often heard these days. The company was founded in 1931 when Walter Marmon and Arthur Herrington joined forces to produce all-wheel-drive trucks. Marmon was the founder of the Marmon Motor Car Company and Herrington was an Army engineer who had worked in the ’20s to help the U.S. Army design and build its own fleet of all-wheel-drive trucks. Along the way, he patented a steering knuckle design that provided the foundation for a device many four-wheelers use today: the double-cardan CV-joint used on driveshafts
