	RSOV - ShadowSpear Special Operations
		Known as the Ranger Special Operations Vehicle (RSOV) family, the platforms are now utilized by USSOCOM’s largest single direct action element in at least four different configurations: the “basic” RSOV; a medical evacuation variant (MEDSOV); a mortar towing/fire support variant (MORTSOV) and a command and control variant (C2SOV).
		Ranger fleet planners have indicated that the RSOVs were fielded with a projected 20-year life cycle and that the battalions plan to keep the vehicles in their inventories throughout that period.
		To insure continued tactical viability, the systems will likely undergo a near term upgrade that will improve the vehicle suspension, equip the platforms with a new wider tire (for a more stable ride) and reposition the spare tire on the front as opposed to the rear of the vehicle.
