This particular vehicle was used by the Screaming Eagles as they patrolled Baghdad in 2003 after the collapse of the Iraqi regime. The model is finished in a three-tone NATO camouflage scheme. The M1025 armament carriers provide mounting and firing of the MK19 automatic grenade launcher; M2, caliber .50 machine gun; and M60, 7.62 mm machine gun; ring-mounted with 360° arc of fire, with armor protection for crew, weapon components, and ammunition. Fully-loaded M1025 armament carriers will climb road grades as steep as 60% (31°) and traverse a side slope of up to 40% (22°). The vehicles ford hard bottom water crossings up to 30 inches (76 centimeters) without a deep water fording kit and 60 inches (152 centimeters) with the kit. One of the principal U.S. follow-on units involved in Operation Iraqi Freedom was the famed 101st Airborne Division, the ‘Screaming Eagles’. They were tasked with securing and stabilizing their assigned areas of Iraq, and their Humvee vehicles were central in their efforts.
In 1981 the US government awarded AM General the contract for 55,000 HMMWVs. This High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV or Humvee) has assumed the military role previously filled by Jeep and is produced in several configurations: command and control systems, field ambulance, ammunition and troop and general cargo transport. Optional equipment includes a winch and supplemental armor. Variant armament carriers provide mounting and firing capabilities for heavy machine guns. The Humvee is equipped with a high performance diesel engine, automatic transmission and four wheel drive and is air transportable and droppable from a variety of aircraft.© Copyright 2003-2010 The Flying Mule, Inc.
