I was very pleased to see that the MiTT's vehicles will be the MRAP. It is designed to better protect the soldiers from the blasts of IEDs, making it more survivable. Another improvement is that the MRAP is air-conditioned. Making it more bearable in the hot Iraqi summer and for the crew members in the back of the vehicle. The MRAP is a very tall vehicle and therefore one must be cautious not roll the vehicle at high speeds or vertical grades.
MiTT members will need to rehearse crew drills and radio procedures while at Ft. Riley in preparation for this deployment. Crew drills must include convoy procedures, reaction to hostile threat, battle commands and reporting procedures on the radio.
