Traveling via Convoy






When Brock was working for General Quantock at headquarters he traveled with all the other VIP's to "undisclosed locations" and sometimes some disclosed locations. These are some pictures of a typical Humvee convoy. There is always a pre and post-convoy brief when they travel out of Camp Victory, Brock compares it to a prayer circle. There are some heroic men there to protect the many Officers, luckily Brock is one of them. But who would mess with a 50 cal. like that? This guy will literally shoot you in the head if your vehicle gets too close to the convoy (Brock says). Vehicle Born Improvised Explosive Devices (VBIED) are a weapon of choice in this post-UNSCR environment. Finally a view from inside the Humvee. I feel safe.
