    A large military mine-resistant ambush protected (MRAP) vehicle is traveling on a paved road in an arid desert environment. The vehicle is equipped with a front-mounted mine roller attachment consisting of multiple heavy rubber/steel rollers designed to detonate IEDs before the vehicle passes over them. The setting appears to be a military base perimeter or forward operating base in a Middle Eastern desert region.
