Gotta couple of those in our motorpool. Only get to drag them out on special occasions, mostly for show/tell.

Anyone here old enough to remember the "Amerika" miniseries?
Reminds me a bit of the USSR/U.N. "peacekeeping forces" that rode around on quad-runners, which were still sort of "modern" looking in the late-80's in attempt to give things a "near future" vibe. |

I've never seen a mini gun mounted on a Humvee personally before but there's a guy at work who says his national guard unit has one on their books in their motor pool, mind you this isn't a SF unit...my BS flag almost went up on that one. How probable is that?

I am not an XO or supply guy, so I can't say for sure if it's impossible, but units don't tend to have 'one off' weapon systems due to force structure alignment/MTOE. Approval would have to come down from pretty damn high up. Secondly, I have never heard of a mini gun existing in a unit outside of SOF |

Yeah that's an official BS Flag is you ask me. My AD Infantry BN deployed to support SF, and we didn't see jack shit in terms of high speed stuff until we got to our sites. It was all either TPE, or the ODAs brought it from their units. Hell, we didn't even get the EBRs for our SDMs that they said we'd get before we left [until we had 3mo left in country]. Again, I won't say it's impossible, but pretty close it to. |

An M134 would be Class VII, which can only be ordered by the PBO. Unless it is TPE it requires an authorization document (look up LOGTAADS) and those can't be made up at the BDE level.

I think these trucks were fairly unique overall in theater. The ODAs near us had tan trucks, sometimes with a special stencil on the sides. Off road, it was surprisingly difficult to pick out a stationary truck 500m out. More than anything, the camo was about being 'different' from the conventional units. It worked. The BSO got hit hard all the time and we were rarely engaged in the same areas to the same degree. Chicken nets attract RPGs. ETA: BTW, the RGs were painted by our trusted local national handyman who lived with us and did any and everything you could ask. Guy ruled. The MATVs were already painted when we arrived. Trebuchet built by an 18C with way too much time/lumber on his hands. |

The RG-31's are the older variants, they are much narrower on the inside than a 33, and do not have all the updated controls,like the master power switch being moved from the damn passenger floorboard. The 33 also has the stretcher carriers that fold down in the crew compartment. I'm about to go outside and look, but those RG's in your pics may be our vehicles now. We have the same exact paint scheme on ours. |

Truck turned into a submarine briefly, and nearly drifted all the way across the deep spot - you can see how the front wheels made it to shallower water. Truth be told, I slipped off the truck and nearly drowned. It sucked. Locals had a laugh. That current was insane. In regards to the RG31 - yes they are super narrow inside the back. Horrible for casevac, and virtually impossible for grown men in kit to sit in all the seats. The few times we got to sit in RG33s it felt like riding in an Escalade. |

I loved my RG-31Mk5E, but I'm small and was the gunner. Everyone else hated it, our dismounts despised that truck lol. I fit a ton of shit in there though, two Javelins and a CLU, a metric fuck ton of ammo. After one engagement, we used my truck to resuply the other trucks since we had so much ammo crammed in there. the seats were awful though, hard rubber. Who thought that was a good idea... If you thought a 33 was roomy, you would have loved the Magic School bus. aka MaxxPros. Talk about roomy. |

Found this of some rangers using Strykers in Afghanistan. We had a team of SF stop by our FOB a couple times using some tricked out Strykers in Baghdad. They had gutted the entire interior so there were no benches or stacks of radios (im guessing to make it easier to load detainees in). Somehow they souped up the engine as well, I was very impressed.
