This model is highly detailed and realistically weathered to represent the M1046 operating with the 3rd Infantry Division as they moved toward Baghdad. The M1026 and M1026A1 HMMWVs are Armament Carrier configurations of the HMMWV family. The vehicles are equipped with basic armor and the weapon mount, located on the roof of the vehicle. The MM1026 and M1026A1 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.The difference between the M1025, M1025A1, and M1025A2 armament carriers and the M1026 and M1026A1 armament carriers is that the M1025 and M1025A1 do not have winches and the M1026 and M1026A1 do. The M1026 and M1026A1 are equipped with winches. This feature permits recovery operations of similar vehicles. Fully-loaded M1026 and M1026A1 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. The BGM-71 TOW is a US anti-tank missile. TOW stands for Tube-launched, Optically tracked, Wire-guided. The TOW was first produced in 1970 and is the most widely used anti-tank missile in the world. It should also be noted that the current production TOW's can penatrate any known tank armor including the chobam armor of the American M1A2 Abrams Main Battle Tank The 3d Infantry Division (Mechanized) - nicknamed the Rock of the Marne - is a United States Army infantry division based at Fort Stewart, Georgia.

Optional equipment includes a winch and supplemental armor. Variant armament carriers provide mounting and firing capabilities for heavy machine guns.
