Soldiers of the 510th Clearance Company, 20th Engineer Battalion, 36th Engineer Brigade, become familiar with the Medium Mine Protected Vehicle (MMPV) Type II while conducting Preventative Maintenance Checks and Services (PMCS). The MMPV Type II platform provides a blast-protected platform to protect Soldiers conducting explosive hazard missions to assure the mobility of the force at the tactical through strategic level. Tests conducted on the system by route clearance platoons are done in a realistic environment to make sure the systems are effective in Soldiers’ hands and suitable for the environments in which they train and fight. Test units and Soldiers influence the future by offering feedback to the U.S. Army Operational Test Command to improve upon existing and future systems. Soldiers and test units have the ability to impact development of systems during training, while executing doctrinally-realistic missions, and then providing direct input to the combat developer of the system for future material release decisions.
