Enough is enough: An effective convoy vehicle is in Iraq, but more are needed
Article Abstract:
The circumstances in Iraq compel the United States Armed forces to consider using an effective convoy vehicle like M1117 Armored Security Vehicle (ASV) rather than using the Humvees. The number of ASVs in Iraq should be increased as they are more suitable than the Humvees and more efforts should be put for modifying and producing more ASVs rather than the Humvees.
