It is imperative that the U.S. Army trains and equips its forces to meet the unique challenges presented by peace operations. The United States Army is one of the last armed forces in the world to fill the void that exists between its wheeled and tracked armored vehicles. The lack of a wheeled, light armored vehicle alternative requires our forces choose between a highly mobile system which provides minimal firepower and no protection, or vehicles that provide superior protection and firepower at the expense of mobility. This monograph examines the unique capabilities offered by light, wheeled armored vehicles, and will attempt to determine if these vehicles are uniquely suited for use by forces conducting peace operations.
