Product Code: SS12054

Overview
by John Adams-Graf

In 2006, President George Bush declared it 'priority number one,'
to defeat the threat of improvised explosive devices. This
volume describes the military's rapid response in developing and
deploying mine-resistant ambush-protected vehicles that
ultimately overcame the threat of roadside bombs in Iraq and
Afghanistan. Presents in detail all the major MRAPs: RG-31s,
RG-33s, Cougars, Caimans, MaxxPros and MATVs. Also included are
the early deployed M1117 ASVs as well as Husky and Buffalo
route-clearance vehicles. Color photography and detailed captions
take the mystery out of identifying the myriad US-deployed MRAP
vehicles, first deployed in 2006 and continue to protect service
men and women.
Illustrated with more than 225 photographs; 80 pages.
