    An articulated tracked military vehicle, consistent with a Hagglunds BV206 or similar all-terrain carrier, is traveling along a paved surface in an arid desert environment. The vehicle is painted in olive drab/military green and consists of two connected units — a front cab section and a rear enclosed cargo/personnel module. The surrounding terrain features sparse desert scrub vegetation and sandy soil, suggesting a military test or training facility.

    Swedish-made small unit support vehicles are being repaired at Production Plant Barstow, Marine Depot Maintenance Command in Yermo, Calif., for the Marine Corps Mountain Warfare Training Center in Bridgeport, Calif. Marines from MCMWTC and from the Marine Air Ground Task Force Training Command in Twentynine Palms, Calif., were on hand to inspect and accept the first one overhauled. The SUSV has been in service since the 1980s and never had any depot-level maintenance performed on them. PPB was faced with many material obsolescence issues to overcome during this process. Four more are in production, with a total of ten to be repaired at PPB.
