It should be in the "Route Reconnaissance" manual. Sorry, I don't recall the FM #, but I bet your local combat engineer battalion could look that up for you!

Msgt.

When I was working in highway design a little over ten years ago, we used 50' for the truck turning radius. I do not know if this corresponds to a 53' Track-Trail but I guess you can start with that. This is the insdie radius, so you will need more room on the outside. I don't have the figures on 180 deg turns.
