Vehicle Identification question - Dog829 - 09-18-2011

I just did a screen grab of an AP credited photo of what appears to be be an USMC armored car in Afghanistan. My reason for doing so was because I had never seen one and also if I can ID it I could see it's use in future scenario creation. I did not post it with this since I don't want to break any blitz rules about posting copyrighted pics and such. I couldn't find anything about that either rules wise so if someone has any ideas as to how I can get the vehicle ID'ed the right way I would appreciate hearing them.
Thanks,
Dog 829

Dog,

To get some help, you'll need to either post the pic or at the very least, post a link to the picture. I'm sure you will get a better response if you post the pic.

To post the pic within your post, follow these easy steps.

Well then this ought to do it. What is this? Yes, it sort of looks like a half hummer armed command vehicle with all the antenna's but is it an armored car?

That's the Mercedes G class that the USMC uses as a "fast attack vehicle" - I don't think it's used by the Army.
