Military Buggies
Because of the obvious advantages a buggy can afford on some terrain, they are also used by the military. The buggies built for the US military used to be called Desert Patrol Vehicles (DPV) or Fast Attack Vehicles (FAV), yet have changed name to Light Strike Vehicles. They are used by US Navy Seals, the SAS, and other forces.
In the United Kingdom, the SAS have always used cut-down, light-weight all terrian vehicles for secret special operations "behind the lines" since early in World War II. The SAS and other elite UK forces call them "Pink Panthers".
LSVs are built by Chenowth Racing Products Inc., a San Diego–based company that sells them solely to the government. The newest version is the ALSV or Chenowth Advanced Light Strike Vehicle.
