During OIF in Iraq for the years I was there we used numberous Polaris ATVs and John Deere Gators. The Gators are desiel powered, 24v system and has several other military features such as a rifle rack and sling load hardware.

One of the Polaris in Astan. Mounted on the back rear is a Mk48 lightweight 7.62mm MG (think of a M249 SAW but in 7.62), 84mm Carl Gustav, 40mm M203 stand alone and demolitions.

Looks like 42nd and 1st Cav ID patches. Thanks Linedoggie

 

Here is another view of the rifle rack with a Bulgarian AKM (10 inside a oval), notice in the back laying down is a Iraqi Taburk DMR (semi auto long barreled AK with adjustable wind/elevation rear sight). Both pics of the gator is at my 100yd line of the 500yd KD range (notice the 15' high T walls)
