German term or phrase: 2to mil gl.
Er trug die Verantwortung für einen Daimler Benz 2to mil gl.

This is from a military service certificate.

Does this remain the same in English? What does it stand for?

English translation:2 ton Daimler Benz GL military version
Explanation:
The Daimler Benz / Mrcedes Benz GL was/is an off-road vehicle, made by Steyr Puch and there are a civilian and a military version. The look a bit like the classic Land Rovers used by the British armed forces.

2 ton mil GL model


Explanation:
GL is the Mercedes designation for a certain SUV model
This is probably a military version.
I'm not sure what '2 ton" refers to. The unladen weight of the vehicle itself is
2 1/2 metric tons and the payload is 700-750 kg. Perhaps this is a special military version.
