Description

Two RG31 Nyala Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles with C6 Medium Machine Guns mounted on Remote Weapon Systems. They are equipped with extensive radio systems allowing the vehicle and its crew to be in contact at all times. This military camp is surrounded by a line of Hesco bastions, earth-filled defensive baskets used worldwide to create perimeter protection barriers. Made to be temporary accommodations to mitigate vehicle-borne improvised explosive devices, they have evolved to offer quick deployable semi-permanent security fence solutions.
