Looks like Honda won the bid....I see some Ranchers and some Foremans...

The military used to use the ones styled like the Gator back when I was in. If you look at their history, specially the airborne and special forces, they have used similar vehicles for quite the long time. So 4wheelers arent anything new to them.

I forgot about this post, I did see some quads about a month ago on tv that the military was using.

My old unit had Suzuki's and Yamaha's. There's been atv's in use during my entire 15 yr career and long before I came in.

Interesting...did you have one assigned to you? Any military atv pics?

No, they are signed out when needed from our Vehicles NCO. The unit I'm in now has Hondas, I think? I'll have to take a look today. I just got to this unit so we may have others besides Hondas.

Are you currently stationed overseas? Are you on this site from a military base? That's pretty cool if you are!

You guys and gals are Americas Freedom!

No, I'm stateside right now. Speaking of, though, when I was in Iraq we had Yamaha's, Polaris Rangers and John Deere Gators (what POS's they were). They weren't for fun, unfortunately, just work hauling equipment and gear around the FOB's.

Yup- all Honda's here: Ranchers and Foremans.

I guess Honda won the bid!
