Special Forces Photo - GMV - Afghanistan

U.

S Army Special Forces soldiers of the 3rd Special Forces Group patrol through the Afghanistan countryside in a ground mobility vehicle (GMV).

This GMV has 7.62mm M240 belt-fed machine gun fitted to a rail around a well in the vehicle's roof.

Note the smoke canister launchers fitted above the windshield.

When fired, these launchers create a smoke screen that assists with breaking a contact when ambushed.
