The RAT Patrol was a 1960s television series about a group of Allied soldiers in the North African desert during World War II. The team was made up of four members, Sergeant Sam Troy, Corporal Jack Moffitt, Private Tully Pettigrew, and Private Mark Hitch. They were tasked with disrupting German supply lines and missions. The RAT Patrol was known for their daring and resourceful tactics, often using their jeeps to outmaneuver the enemy. The term 'The RAT Patrol' is derived from the nickname given to the team by the Germans.
