France's 13th Engineer Regiment conducting bridging ops with Griffon Mult-Role Vehicles...

The Griffon has really grown on me. Bigger than the JLTV (but the French use the Serval in that role) I don't know how it would be classified in US service. It's weight is probably a concern even though it carries 8 fully equipped soldiers (25 tons). This is an interesting vehicle. Not quite an infantry fighting vehicle, but better than a truck that's been armored up (can't forget about the fold down bench either) its quite the odd but beautiful duck. Maybe a lower cost surrogate VBCI for operations other than high intensity combat?
