It is actually what the SF versions of the HMMWV are being called. Don't know why though. Here is a photo, the only one I could find. It is actually a prototype and slightly different from the currrent ones in use. Current ones have either armored doors, or commonly no doors. They also have the B pillar, roof support between the doors, and a rack off the rear of the vehicle for storage that looks like a step bumper on a truck. Someone here built a model of one a while back. It looked pretty good.

Interesting vehicle, they need to work on the name though...

Looks like a modern day, SAS "desert rat" jeep.
