context_page_description: The Ground Mobility Vehicle is a U.S. Special Operations Command, (US)SOCOM program, initially modifying Humvees into several variants for use by the United States special operations forces. Its design is mostly based on lessons learned during Operation Desert Storm, after an initial program, post 1985, for specialized HMMWVs for desert strike operations: the Desert Mobility Vehicle, or "Dumvee". GMV crews like to call them "gun trunks".
  The GMV program is superseded by the GMV 1.1, based on the General Dynamics Flyer 72. It is understood that under a seven-year indefinite delivery / indefinite-quantity contract, SOCOM wishes to procure 1,297 GMV 1.1s — to replace its 1,072 first generation, Humvee-based GMV units.
context_section_description: Early models were based on the M1025 Humvee chassis.  Later models of GMVs included versions based on the M1113 chassis.  Another model based on the M1165 HMMWV can be fitted with armor kits to create an 'up-armored' GMV with additional armor plating and an optional ballistic shield around the top gunner's turret. Variants are: 
  GMV-S - US Army Special Forces
  GMV-R - 75th Ranger Regiment
  GMV-N - Navy SEALs
  GMV-T / GMV-SD / GMV-ST - Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC)
  GMV-M - Marine Corps Special Operations Command (MARSOC)
