Article Abstract:

American soldiers are being killed or maimed almost every day in Iraq by improvised explosive devices (IEDs), with majority of the targets being in convoys, especially the Humvee. Effective convoy vehicles like the M1117 Guardian Armored Security Vehicle, offers better crew protection, but is limited in use and hence there is a need for more of these vehicles.
