1. do you mean civilian vehicles? or are you looking for military vehicles?
2. As anyone who has ever deployed knows, there are numerous missions that your unit may be tasked to perform during combat or stability operations. This particularly holds true for the infantry. Iraq has proven no different in this respect than any other conflict. In this theater, some of the most common missions that can occur for infantry units are convoy security missions. Ironically, this can be one of the least understood and trained missions for contemporary units, especially for line platoons in both mechanized and light infantry. While serving as the headquarters and headquarters company (HHC) commander for a mechanized infantry task force deployed to Iraq, I saw techniques that worked and some that did not during convoy security missions. Soldiers from our task force at one point or another during the yearlong deployment traveled the length of the country. I have gathered some of the lessons learned during these operations (some of them learned the hard way).
