Well sir, in my meager opinion the "combat use" for the afore mentioned vehicle is: Transport , it is after all just a truck ..they come in handy when you need to move heavy equipment ie anti-tank guns, mortars, heavy machine gun teams, anti-tank teams etc. Troops carrying mortars, heavy machine guns, anti-tank weapons , have a very slow rate of movement and tire very quickly it is best to transport these units in your trucks .
