Transport still lacks some the gear they need ie they dont have enough drops, but the do a good job with the gear they have.

[ONE SHOT ONE KILL]

yes transport definitly need more vehicles as the ones we have are mostly around 10 years old and falling apart

[Fuzzytrooper]

Any vehicle i've been on has been in relatively good condition.

[Frank Aiken]

we need a few landrovers with gun mounts

They could be put to good use in liberia
what about the fords the rangers are getting will they be got in time for liberia?

[Thorpe]

Heard rumblings that the ACMAT might make a reappearence in Liberia as it did in Somalia, equipped with the usial 3 gpmgs, 84mm and 0.5

French Army ACMAT similar to type operated by Irish Defence Forces mainly by the 2nd Regiment

These vehicles were used in Somailia as gunships, the back cover was removed and seats fitted facing left & right these positions were fitted with a GPMG there was also a GPMG fitted to the front passenger position. Some gunships had the tripod mount fitted for the .5 HMG. These vehicles were used for convoy security and were place primarily at the back and front of the convoy.
