Another country heard from !

Illustrates another Equipment Specification - that of being "Air-Portable".

Also wonder, if the crew have to do "Full Body-Armour", etc - being in a Combat Zone ?

The truck was brought back from Kandahar airfield to Kabul Airfield by a C-17. Full Body Armour was only needed when the field was under attack. But than again you have to stay in the shelter.
