    The Husky tactical support vehicle is an important tool in defeating improvised explosive devices used by insurgents against alliance forces in the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan. The Huskies were successful in finding numerous IEDs during Operation Gateway III, a strategically planned operation in which Marines of 3rd Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment (Reinforced) cleared southern Afghanistan's Route 515. The route was notorious for IEDs; however, with the help of the Huskies, Marines defeated the IEDs and provided safer travel for local Afghans and alliance forces. 3/8 is the ground combat element of Special Purpose Marine Air Ground Task Force ? Afghanistan.
