Hagee, 33rd Commandant of the Marine Corps, met with the First Marine Expeditionary Force in Iraq today to inspect the Cougar Hardened Engineer Vehicle (HEV), a mine- and blast-protected transport vehicle produced by U.S. manufacturer Force Protection, Inc.

The vehicles can be configured for a wide range of tasks including troop transport, Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD), command and control, reconnaissance, and as a lead convoy vehicle.
