Is the ARMOURED PATROL VEHICLE a novel and new name for a vehicle that we need to augment our job as Armour Crewmen in the Recce Role. Remember it can also be used by other Cbt Arms, Combat Support and Combat Service Support in the performance of their duties. While some of these vehicles will be too large and cumbersome to be Recce Vehicles in the true sense, they may come in handy to transport Assault Troops and also as Command Carriers. They may be ideal vehicles for the Convoy Escort Role and Rear Area Security. If the Corps did decide to acquire these vehicles, would that now cause confusion in what roles Troopers will fill in the Regiments? Some would be deligated solely to Rear Area Security and Convoy Escort tasks and others would be relegated to OPs and Surv Tasks. The Corps would still be left without a true Recce Vehicle to conduct Route Recce tasks.
What will vehicles like the Buffalo provide?

Or the USMC Cougar:

Do these types of vehicle have a place in the Armour Corps, or should they be left to the "Truckers" and Engineers?
