Most of the units like this were at one time a "Light Armor Personnel Carrier" of the US Air Force Security Police called a "Peace Keeper". The "PK's" were mostly built in the 70's that I encountered and were on a Dodge chassis. These were used mostly for flight line, missle fields, and base security protection. The MAIN Weapon that was mounted behind the sheild was an M-60 Machine Gun. The vehicle was being replaced by the Hum-vees carrying different crews and weapons like M-2 .50 Cal Machine Guns, Mk-19 40mm granade machine guns and other "toys".
Most of these PK's were "simple" units and got moved around with little to tell you where they servered unless you get your hands on the paperwork. If memeory serves me right we had MAFB for McGuire AFB on the bumpers front and rear. Only issue is this could also mean any other base that started with an "M". Also I think we had 2 or 3 at McGuire while I was there from 92-99. Hope this helps everyone with some Identificaation of the units being made over for Civilian use.
