Oshkosh MRAP All-Terrain Vehicle (M-ATV)

The MRAP was at Staples Center last weekend.

See the full report, with additional photos, here: "Oshkosh M-ATV MRAP at X-Games 17 (Los Angeles)."

By 2005, in Iraq, roughly half of all combat casualties were due to IED attacks. Former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, who retired in June, said the deployment of MRAPs in Iraq and Afghanistan has saved "thousands of lives."
