Jeep Stuff

The Truck, Utility, 1/4-Ton, 4x4, M108, or simply the M108 "Jeep", is a Paternian light utility vehicle developed for the Paternian Armed Forces. Largely replaced by the M2100 HUMV and HSAV series of ground mobility vehicles nowadays, the M108 Jeep was a workhorse for the Paternian military, and saw service in some capacity in all branches.

Manufactured by Bandit Motors, the M108 Jeep quickly gained favor due to its reliability, off-road capability, durability, ease of maintenance, and versatility. Powered by a 100-hp V-4 liquid-cooled diesel engine and employing rigid live axle suspension upon a bolted and welded ladder frame chassis, it was well-suited for light transport, casualty evacuation, liaison duties, reconnaissance, and as a platform for light and heavy weapons.

Over 250,000 M108 jeeps were made between 1956 and 1989, and the machine still sees use by some militia and National Gendarmerie forces. Overseas, the M108 Jeep saw service in Aleuztia, Emmeria, Eternistan, Syllix, and Winolia, often manufacturing them locally. Captured machines were employed by the UCR. Tens of thousands were sold as surplus, and these were popular among collectors, commercial users, off-road enthusiasts, and mail delivery.

This particular variant is the M108A2 Fast Attack Vehicle, employed by Paternian Army Rangers, Special Forces, and Delta Force. Despite the name, it is intended to be employed defensively, exploiting its speed and weaponry to provide firepower and bring forces where needed in combat.
