The familiar HumVee outfitted for the desert terrain. This vehicle is a workhourse and is utilized more often by our Special Forces counterparts, but is seeing some acceptance by SEALs due to it's versatility and durability. This vehicle is good for troop movement in a low-threat environment.
Formerly called the Fast Attack Vehicle, the DPV was reoriented to it's less threatening role due to the vulnerability of the men while in the DPV. The vehicle has no armament what-so-ever to stop a bullet. It is terrific for long range reconnaisance and for strike warfare (downed pilot rescues). The DPV is very fast and agile and can traverse just about any terrain features it come across. It is basically a light weight, highly armed, highly munuverable dune buggy for the modern era rat patrol. The DPV saw extensive action in the Gulf war, and operators from SEAL Team THREE were the first to enter Kuwait City after it's liberation, driving DPV's of course. Coverage of this event by CNN earned the DPV's prominance in Desert Warfare history!
