The job of a Marine reconnaissance battalion is to conduct ground reconnaissance and observation in support of a Marine Corps Division and its elements. This unit's radio call sign in Operation Desert Storm was "Team Death." Their unit motto was "Swiftly, silently, deadly." The Humvee acted as the unit's protection, shelter, compass and legs during Operation Desert Storm.
In 1981 the US government awarded AM General the contract for 55,000 HMMWVs. This High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV or Humvee) has assumed the military role previously filled by Jeep and is produced in several configurations: command and control systems, field ambulance, ammunition and troop and general cargo transport. Optional equipment includes a winch and supplemental armor. Variant armament carriers provide mounting and firing capabilities for heavy machine guns. The Humvee is equipped with a high performance diesel engine, automatic transmission and four wheel drive and is air transportable and droppable from a variety of aircraft. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
