GMV

This is the new Ground Mobility Vehicle (not the most inventive name ever) being deployed to U.S. Airborne divisions this year. Essentially a super-lightweight HMMWV bristling with machine guns, it's air-droppable and intended to endow paratroops with very high mobility and increased firepower -- traditionally the weak points of light infantry. A battalion of paratroopers dropped into the enemy's rear areas with a few dozen of these would play merry hell with logistics and troop movements, like a modern-day "Rat Patrol". Piclick for more.
