Recognition notes
The Command Van is a 15-ton wheeled combat vehicle built for scouting at close range, cruising at 76 km/h and reaching a top speed of 119, brisk for its weight. A single machine gun faces front, and the hull carries communications equipment behind standard armor. The crew works with enhanced communications gear, though the design is known as maintenance-intensive.
