The M113 parentage of this vehicle is obvious; the passenger compartment has been raised to better accomodate command staff functions. The auxiliary generator housing is to the driver's right, and antenna guards are visible on the roof of the vehicle. Under the guard to the left rear of the driver's hatch is the external handle for activation of the vehicle's fire suppression system, and above this are two antenna mounting brackets.

The soldier in this vehicle is looking through the door in the rear hatch. The erectable tent is rolled up on the rear roof of the vehicle, and its supporting posts are stowed above the rear entry hatch. There are two small boxes just to the left of the rear hatch; the top one covers a utility outlet, and the bottom is a door buzzer switch. Just below and inboard of the left taillight group is a plug for the Field Artillery Digital Automatic Computer. This vehicle belongs to 1st Cavalry Division and is taking part in Exercise REFORGER '83. (Picture taken 20 Sep 1983 by SSgt. Ronald Lewis; available from the Defense Visual Information Center.)
