About the 401st:
The 401st Army field Support Brigade provides Soldiers, Sailors, Airman, and Marines, the tools and resources necessary to complete the mission. If they shoot, drive it, fly it, wear it, eat it or communicate with it, the 401st helps provide it. The brigade assists coalition partners with many of their logistical and sustainment needs. The brigade also handles the responsible disposition of equipment in Afghanistan to support evolving missions. We are the single link between Warfighters in the field, and working through Army Sustainment Command, we leverage Army Materiel Command’s worldwide Materiel Enterprise to develop, deliver, and sustain materiel to ensure a dominant joint force for the U.S. and our Allies.

The proportions and details were difficult to get right at this scale. I made some compromises for simplicity's sake, such as the front fenders have a angled top side in reality.
Engineers recently timed an MRAP armored vehicle for potential launch pad evacuation routes as preparations for Commercial Crew flights move ahead. The 45,000-pound MRAP is a great improvement over the M113 used during the space shuttle era in many regards. Larger and more powerful, the MRAP offers a mobile bunker to astronauts and ground crews in the unlikely event they have to get away from the launch pad quickly in an emergency.

The 4x4 Cougar H variant is almost 20 ft in length and weighs 32,000 lbs whereas the 6x6 Cougar HE variant is just over 23 ft in length and weighs 38,000 lbs. The Cougar MRAP vehicle is powered by a Caterpillar C-7 diesel engine coupled to a six-speed Allison 3500 SP series automatic transmission. The 330hp engine generates a maximum torque of 1,166nm.

The Mastiff 2 still uses the Caterpillar C-7 diesel engine, which yields up to 330 shp of power. The Mastiff 2 is good for 90kph at ranges up to 1000-1100 kilometers on road.
Per Magus's request I have added a "cool rear ramp" to my MRAP. The MRAP can hold 8 minifigs with gear and weapons.
Soldiers gradually navigate a Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck, better known as a HEMTT, through an obstacle on the new Driver's Training complex at the Grafenwoehr Training Area in Germany. The complex is spread over a 7.6 km area, and consists of a sequence of eleven obstacles designed to train Soldiers in a variety of U.S. and multi-national military vehicles, from the smaller more versatile HUMVEE to U.S. and NATO European model vehicles and tanks. Each of the eleven obstacles replicates the dangers and challenges Soldiers, Marines and Airmen encounter when driving in diverse battlefield environments. For more photos of vehicles in the complex see JMTC's flickr set "JMTC’s new Driver’s Training Complex goes into high gear." (Photo by SGT Kelli Baker, TSC Team Leader, Graphics / Released).
Just a little something I have been working on. It is finished but I am going to wait to upload pictures until later this week.
On a side note the Platypus has been scrapped. I cannot figure out a way to do some parts (namely the engine nacelles and cargo bay doors). I will be redoing it over the next few weeks as a BWB transport which will be able to carry a MBT.

This is another exciting model of the M-ATV MRAP series. It depicts an All-Terrain MRAP Vehicle (M-ATV), this time in Extended Configuration.
As all our models it was developed in 3D software and a digital tooling was created, which was used to produce selected parts and components. Most of the parts and components were produced by rapid prototyping, using nylon for over 80% of these parts. In addition some of the nylon parts were also reinforced by metal, which made them even more durable. As its sister model in Standard Configuration, this version is also mounted on a wood finished base and protected with a clear acrylic cover. Two of these models were produced.
The model also earned high recognition for the accuracy and high level of detailing. It will possibly be followed by a series of smaller scale executive desktop models (multiples).

The photos in this set were made by my nephew who works for an American company training Iraqi police .According to my correspondent these are the new MRAP (Mine Resistant Ambush Protected) vehicles. He says..."The black box at the front sends off a very large heat signature to help delay or hopefully prevent any enemy detonation of radio controlled explosives in the roadway......"
There is a very complete article about this truck and related vehicles at Wikipedia. These trucks are being rushed to theater at great expense under an emergency budget allocation. It costs $750,000 to airlift one MRAP to theater and the military have even contracted with Russia for use of their huge Antonov AN 124 cargo planes to expedite delivery. Sadly, due to the deterioration of our industrial infrastructure there are only two steel mills in the United States capable of producing the special armored steel needed for these vehicles. There is no question, however, that these new trucks have saved scores, if not hundreds of lives, as they are extremely well designed to withstand attack by IED and ambush.
