And none of it mean a damn thing if the driver and passengers can be shot in the face because of the open cab. Sure, all that armor can withstand an IED, but it offers no cover for anyone inside. I didn't read anything about modifications to the cab, but I sure as hell hope there is some.

MAJ Eric G Troup - I've read about that one. It seems like a stable, quick an tactical vehicle capable of both proecting it's occupants and getting the job done. I am not sure why the Army is ordering a bunch of those (what looks like) stripped down HMMWVs.

Sometimes logistics drive requirements. For Airborne Forces the lighter weight is needed in order to be airdroppable. It is either walk or ride in a relatively light vehicle providing mobility. Does anyone remember when the 82nd had those little "mules"?https://www.bing.com/images/search?view=detailV2&ccid=z255xvtr&id=1684553A374ACAA99E9AAD6D00AAA230F28B86EF&thid=OIP.z255xvtrU1fl4F79CHlKnQHaEe&mediaurl=http%3a%2f%2fwww.82ndairbornedivisionmuseum.com%2fwp-content%2fuploads%2f2015%2f04%2f19.-1960s-Mule-1.jpg&exph=605&expw=1000&q=82nd+airborne+mules&simid= [login to see] 83501335&selectedIndex=0&ajaxhist=0
