Marine Security Force Company V-150 Commandos?

Post subject: Marine Security Force Company V-150 Commandos?

I am home in Charleston SC and remembered something from when I was in high school ("just" 15 years ago) & had to go on the nearby Charleston Naval Weapon Station - there was a vehicle parked in the trees near the gate. I swear it was a V-150 Commando... Back then there was a Marine Security Force Company stationed at the weapon station... Did they have V-150s? Or more likely a LAV?

Unfortunately its not really possible to see if its still there without going through the gate, and I dont have a real reason anymore...

My guess would be it was a Dragoon. I have an article on the Marine Corp using them. Just a guess though. _________________ Dave C MVPA, MVCCO Portland OR

Ah, you may be right... Appears that maybe the Navy actually used them? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragoon_AFV Neil
