Awesome pics norge! I've seen pics of all-terrain vehicles in winter camo which looked very similar to our USMC Otter vehicles plus others which resemble small boxy tracked vehicles hooked together with hitches. Not sure if these latter ones were norwegian (please forgive my spelling 
) or American, as I saw no markings on them. It would be cool to see you do some pics in full NBC gear, suit and gas mask, but not sure what you have for that. cheers from Massachusetts!

I saw the pics a few years ago so not sure, but it seems that Norway has geared her armed forces more towards winter fighting and thus has vehicles more designed for winter conditions and are more robust and reliable than even some American stuff.

The Dutch, German, French and Belgian armed forces use them aswell.. and all the scandinavion countries (Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark)... Hell.. almost all NATO countries use them

I'm getting attle-brained in my mid-40s ! That pic that Cracker put up looks identical to the search and rescue vehicles that the state police have at the Quabbin Reservoir motor pool, except that the SP vehicles are painted in the copy-righted MA state police two-tone blue color. Plus of course no cupola mounted machineguns..... yet!

Well I guess that is not the same vehicle unless the Massachusetts state police are suddenly buying quality vehicles actually designed to operate in snow.
