The "Badger" was used for close combat and infantry support. The few built were at a TACOM facility in Virginia. Used uparmored HMMWV's and the 25mm main chain gun canned from damaged LAV's. Modifications were made to the chassis and mechanical equipment to support the turret and additional weight of operating equipment and ammunition.
Resource constraints placed on the military during the alien invasion limited mass production of modified, existing weapon systems. The "Badgers" were limited in number. Majority were sent into combat zones in South Eastern US where they were desperately needed. It was not uncommon to see militia forces employing "Badger's". Militia used them in recon, defense, and hit-and-run operations against alien forces.
Militia and regular military units would do infield modifications; adding additional armor or sandbags for additional protection in areas where the fighting was most intense. It was welcome site for militia forces who were engaged in most fighting in the occupied southeast US. The heavier fire power could easily take out troops and potentially light vehicles.
Finished project. Paint, detailed, weathered, and created blast marks on trucks armor panels. Panels are removable. Driver side has fold up/down (LED) LCD screen providing video feed, NAV data, and night vision. All hatches, doors, armor shutters, view port covers are moveable. Headlights came out real dim but still works for this vehicles purpose,
