This is a pretty cool "Peace Maker" vehicle. You no longer see these in use by the military, however; some law enforcement agencies are now using this type of surplus vehicle for their tactical (SWAT) teams.
Location restrictions: Vehicle is located within the locked confinds of Delta-09 Missile Silo/Launch Facility, a part of the Minuteman Missile National Historical Site. Go to http://www.nps.gov/mimi/ for more information on the hours of operation inside.
