Chances are you haven't heard of the newest military vehicle in Iraq. It is known as the Rock, and it is built on the frame of a Ford 4x4, the vehicle is armored, well armed, air conditioned with an auxilliary generator, can do 80 mph, and it weighs in at 15,000 lbs.
Right now their are only ten of the vehicles in service, with 9 more coming from the manufacturer Granite Global Services. According to W. Thomas Smith Jr, one of the vehicles took a hit from an IED this morning and suffered no major damage and its occupants no injuries. It is nice to see a little innovation in troop vehicles in Iraq.
