M-ATV Assault (5)
Some US Army infantry dismounted from their Matvee while on patrol in support of NATO's Stabilization Force in Eastern Europe (SFOR). Much of the American contingent of this peacekeeping mission is a armored brigade intended to deter aggressive action by the revanchist Yugoslav People's Army, so separate infantry brigades are often rotated into theater to better provide a lighter-weight way to interface with the local population. Still, the heavily mechanized and modernized Yugoslavs and their proxy Black Hand organization remain a significant threat in the Balkans, forcing the American military to consider heavier armaments for their soldiers' utility vehicles. Options such as the Reconfigurable Integrated Weapons Platform are an outstanding choice for this job, and provide units quite a bit of flexibility on what kind of weaponry they bring to the field. The M-ATV pictured above is equipped with a 30mm chain gun and 7.62mm coaxial machine gun, alongside a pair of FGM-148 Javelin anti-tank guided missiles, and a counter-drone jamming system.
