@Dolten: Rangers and elements of USSOCOM providing field testing for us by their respective services, and weapons training officers and policy makers (gunners and ranking personnel) who are providing the same judgement calls.

@DevilWarrior112: Not usually, but the most common form of transport for us (when we needed it) was in the form of highback HMMWVs and MTVRs. We later started rocking up-armored versions of each, and we rode in AAVs a few times (a big, amphibious, tracked vehicle that looks a frog with a big gun turret on the front). When we took helos, we either used CH46s or CH53s, usually CH46s. During my last deployment, MRAPs like the JERRV came into more common use, but I wasn't with my original "squad" during that one.
