The '''Barracks OL''' is a [[military]] truck. The vehicle has appeared in all games between [[Grand Theft Auto III]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]], but is absent in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] as the military has been removed from the game. In [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], is it simply called the '''Barracks'''.

Appearing on the streets only when the player achieves a 6-star [[Wanted Level in GTA III Era|wanted level]], the Barracks OL is a military truck based on the [[Wikipedia:M939|M939 "5 ton"]] truck.  When first introduced in GTA III, it was visually very similar to the the [[Flatbed]] truck, differing only in its body colors and its modified bed design with additional fencing; the Barracks OL underwent extensive modifications after GTA III to distinguish it further from the Flatbed.  In GTA San Andreas, the Barracks fetures a siren without strobe lights, which, like other sirens, will make traffic move out of the way.  From GTA Vice City onwards, vigilante missions can be activated from the Barracks. The Barracks OL comes with three types of bed configurations: uncovered, uncovered with framing, and fully covered; GTA San Andreas' Barracks, however, features only two bed configurations: covered with [[wp:tarpaulin|tarpaulin]], or covered with camouflage netting (revealing boxes on the bed).  The GTA San Andreas and GTA Advance renditions feature closed cabs, while all other renditions feature open cabs. Despite the Barracks' huge size, it is only capable of carrying the driver and one passenger.
