MRAP Vehicles Mine Resistent Ambush Protected from The End of The War in Iraq.

Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles wait in the RPAT yard of Fort Virginia, Kuwait.  MRAPs were designed after the original Humvees and transport trucks used to enter Iraq were found to be easily disabled by guerrilla tactics when on patrol.  The top-heavy MRAP design isn't well suited to the rougher roads of Afghanistan though.
