The Defense Department will continue to buy as many MRAP vehicles as it can, as fast as it can, the press secretary said.

The vehicles have proven to be life-savers on the battlefield. The armored V-shaped hull deflects the effects of improvised explosive devices away from soldiers or Marines riding in the vehicles. They’ve been especially effective against what the military calls “improvised explosive projectiles,” IEDs designed especially to pierce armor. The department has contracted to buy 8,800 of the MRAP vehicles.
