Hello
Can somebody tell me if RSOV ( Ranger Special Operations Vehicle, a light military vehicle of the U.S. Army's 75th Ranger Regiment, based on the Land Rover Defender ) was equiped with some extra modifications espetially made for OIF operation? (I think about "low intensive phase").
Thank You
Chris

Hi Chris

Are you sure the RSOV has been used in Iraq ? According to Osprey's recent book about Special Op. patrol vehicles, it was used in Afghanistan in 2001-2002 but Rangers used the Humvee-based GMV-R in Iraq
