  Missing Links Articles Template
AVGP’s employed in Somalia by the Canadian Airborne Regiment Battle Group were in their original ‘as purchased’ configurations.
All the AVGP’s were painted white prior to deployment, because originally the mission was to be a UN peacekeeping mission, which changed (while the vehicles were enroute) to a military humanitarian intervention under UN Chapter VII rules – same as Korea and the Gulf War.
Once the vehicles arrived in Somalia, the UN markings were quickly painted over, and the troops experimented with various methods of toning down the white of their vehicles – the common method was to wipe the vehicle down with diesel fuel, and to allow the sand and dust to accumulate.

 Solaris7 Grizzly AVGP   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
The Grizzly AVGP provides militia, garrison, and armoured reserve units with an effective, well armoured vehicle that can ferry a platoon of infantry into the middle of a battlefield, and chip away at enemy units from a distance, or engage infantry forces up front.
The Grizzly's greatest benefit however is the fact that as part of the AVGP family can be used in conjunction with other AVGP variants to create an effective fighting force comprised of units that have more or less the same base chassis, which allows for far cheaper and simpler logistics, repair, and maintenance.
Once their sentences were served and they were aboard a dropship headed for a jumpship to the periphery, the life support systems mysteriously malfunctioned, killing all the prisoners aboard while the crew donned enviro-suits.

Defined in [OW93] to be the class of decision problems that have a good average-case BPP algorithm, whenever the input is chosen from an efficiently samplable distribution.
