I saw one get stuck so bad in the sand it took three tanks to pull it out over in Saudi. Was sitting with the frame on the ground so no way to dig it out (trust me, they had us try).

A vehicle beached at the frame on sand is a very common occurrence in the desert, and it's fairly trivial to get out if you have a shovel, brains, and are physically well. It's just some work, but sand is incredibly easy to excavate by hand, even from underneath a vehicle.
