View from the Rat Vehicle


During their recent mission, Eli spent some time riding in the rat vehicle. The rat vehicle travels ahead of the convoy scanning for IED's and moving vehicles out of the convoy's way. I'm not sure why the call it the "Rat Vehicle." The only thing that comes to mind is if they run into trouble they're trapped like rats in a sinking ship....far away from help!
