    An armored wheeled military vehicle, likely an armored personnel carrier (APC), is parked inside a large indoor facility or hangar. The vehicle is painted in a desert tan/sand color and has been covered with handwritten graffiti in blue and black marker, including names and location references. The vehicle appears worn and possibly decommissioned or in storage.

    The M8 Light Armored Car, known as the Greyhound, produced by Ford Motor Company starting in 1943 and used by British troops as well as the 14th Cavalry Group in Europe and the Far East during World War II. Soldiers from the Combat Repair Team, Company B, 225th Brigade Support Battalion, found the vehicle in the equipment boneyard on Camp Taji, northwest of Baghdad, and are refurbishing it in hopes to ship it back to Schofield Barracks, Hawaii for display as a part of Cavalry history.
