Guys, somebody took these photos in Hungary. Any idea what are they used for?

All I have are the photos and the photographer tells no detalis about it. And I am furius.

We have some US spec ops trainers, maybe it belongs to them?

It looks like a shelter body type? maybe signals/comms vehicle? I am sure some one will have better idea of what it is?

I agree It looks like a M1151 Body though, with a shelter on the back. It looks like the shelter has had some added armor or maybe this is the norm on the new ones.

That thing is way old school. It's an M1037 commo shelter, one of a series of RATT rigs mounted on different platforms.

Its an M1152 with a shelter. Not sure about the shelter. The bumper code would suggests its with the 44th Signal Battalion, 7th Signal Brigade. So a commo shelter would seem appropriate.

The shelter is a Joint Node Network Operations van. It's part of the Army's newest VoIP/ Data processing system.
