The U.S. SOCOM vehicle is one of several MRAP variants based on the RG33 family of vehicles.

"The entire RG33 team is proud to be able to provide these highly survivable vehicles to support our troops." Work on the delivery order will be performed by the existing workforce and will begin immediately at BAE Systems facilities in York, Pennsylvania and Aiken, South Carolina; with assistance from Letterkenny Army Depot (LEAD) and Spartan Motors Chassis' facility in Charlotte, Michigan. Under a Public/Private Partnership Agreement, BAE Systems will work with LEAD to deliver the vehicles.
