Army Special Forces soldiers dismount from a Ground Mobility Vehicle (GMV) and apparoach a target during a capabilities demo at Fort Bragg.
The GMV is a variant of the HMMWV that has been adapted for use by special operations forces (SOF).
The gunner on this GMV is manning a .50 caliber Browning M2 machine gun.
Special Forces mobility teams are comprised of a specially-trained ODA of 12 Green Berets in a fighting convoy of 4 GMVs.
During the invasion of Iraq in 2003, Special Forces GMV teams drove GMVs on long range patrols through the Iraqi desert.
U.S. Army Special Forces employ the GMV-S variant of the vehicle.
