  1. 10 mph
  2. 12 mph
  3. 15 mph
  4. 20 mph

Answer: C — 15 mph

The maximum towed speed for the M1120 is 15 mph. This speed is established to ensure safe operation while towing, particularly when considering factors such as vehicle stability, braking capability, and overall control. Towing at this speed allows for better maneuverability and less strain on both the towing vehicle and the towed load. Exceeding this speed can lead to increased risk of accidents and mechanical failure, as well as decreased safety for operators and other road users. The specified maximum is there to maintain a balance between efficiency and safety in military logistics operations.
