Publisher's Synopsis
During Operation Iraqi Freedom the HMMWV found itself thrust into roles for which it was never intended, direct combat roles, especially along the supply routes in convoy security roles. When faced with new combat challenges, the American soldier can be a very creative and resourceful individual, and in a combat environment, most of the rules are set aside in the name of mission and survivability. The HMMWV's used by the transport units for convoy protection on the Kuwait - Iraq supply routes are rolling testaments to this. All of the photos presented here were taken between February and August 2004 on and around Camp Arifjan, Kuwait and represent a small sample of the often ingenious modifications and adaptations applied to the vehicle by the units in theater.
