Due to various changes of policy, twice they went out of favour, firstly after the Second World War and then post-Vietnam in the late 1970s, but their use is now well established. This well researched and superbly illustrated book ... describes all the different types and variants since the first M1 was ordered in 1931. The M8 armoured car was widely used during World War Two but it was not until Vietnam that further wheeled AFVs came into service, notably the M706 armoured car. After a lull the US Marine Corps adopted the Light Armoured Vehicle (LAV) in 1983. The US Army first used armoured Humvees in 1994 and variants remain in service (M1141 and M1116). Other types today include the Guardian (M1117) and the Army version of the LAV named the 'Stryker'. To meet the operational requirements of Iraq and Afghanistan the Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicle (MRAP) was ordered in bulk from 2007"--$cBack cover. 410 0$aImages of war. 606 $aArmored vehicles, Military$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$2fast 615 0$aArmored vehicles, Military 676 $a358.18830973 700 $aGreen$b Michael$030857 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910155081703321 996 $aAmerican wheeled armoured fighting vehicles$93400235 997 $aUNINA
