Rumsfeld Town Hall Highlights Need for Armored Vehicles - Force Protection Ready to Answer Call Monday December 13, 9:15 am ET LADSON, S.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 13, 2004--The urgent need to protect soldiers from landmines and improvised explosive devices (IEDs) by using vehicles of the sort produced by Force Protection, Inc. (OTCBB:FRCP - News), the leading U.S. provider of mine- and blast-protected vehicles, was underscored by U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld during a visit to Kuwait Wednesday. The Ladson-based company produces vehicles that integrate state-of-the-art mine and ballistic protection technology with a fully enclosed v-shaped hull design which angles to deflect explosions away from the troops inside. This hull is joined with quality American automotive components, providing an efficient way to field the vehicles and enabling them to be repaired in the field. "Force Protection's vehicles fill the critical need of protecting our troops from the threat of land mines and improvised explosive devices (IEDs)," said CEO Gale Aguilar. "Modern warfare has changed. Our armed forces are fighting in occupied, high-threat areas in which they are attacked on all sides. They need equipment specifically designed to keep them safe in this type of situation. Force Protection provides the solution." biz.yahoo.com
