Over the last 30 years, Special Forces have become a key component
of the world's armed forces, often employing unconventional tactics
as part of airborne operations, counterinsurgency,
counterterrorism, hostage rescue, covert ops and intelligence
gathering. To carry out their role effectively, specific vehicles
have been developed for these elite units. Organized by type, the
book explores a wide range of vehicles, from the light utility
vehicles through mine-resistant protected vehicles (MRAP) to mini
bikes and quad bikes. Discover the Pinzgauer High-Mobility
All-Terrain Vehicle, a high clearance, all-wheel drive transporter
used by Delta Force and the New Zealand SAS; the fast, light Arquus
Scarab, a protected vehicle that can turn both the front and rear
wheels simultaneously, allowing it to move sideways like a crab;
the MRZR, used by the U.S. Marines for fast forward deployment and
off-road reconnaissance; the Toyota Hilux pick-up, which due to its
simplicity and rugged durability, has proved its worth in conflicts
from South America to Central Asia; and the Christini AWD
motorcycle, used by U.S. Navy SEALs in Afghanistan. Illustrated
with more than 100 photographs and artworks, Special Forces Land
Vehicles provides a detailed guide to the specialist vehicles used
by elite soldiers in the modern era.
