The Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicle is the newest
land warfare system in the United States Army and Marine Corps
inventory. Designed to meet the challenges of operating in a
counterinsurgency environment, the MRAP has taken survivability to
a new level. MRAPs are currently manufactured by three companies:
BAE Systems, Navistar International Military Group, and Force
Protection Inc. Each company manufactures an MRAP according to one
of three classifications set by the US Department of Defense:
Category I, Category II, or Category III. The Category I MRAPs are
designed for urban combat. Category II covers the MRAPs designed
for convoy security, medical evacuation, and explosive ordnance
disposal. The Category III MRAP performs the same function as
Category II but is designed to carry more personnel. Since their
introduction in 2007, MRAPs have performed remarkably in the
asymmetric warfare environment. Their unique design and
survivability characteristics have saved the lives hundreds of
soldiers who otherwise would have been lost to landmines or IED
attacks. As with any combat system, however, the MRAP is not
without its drawbacks.
