Military Applications for Stretched Hummers

I saw a stretched H2 Hummer yesterday which invariably was used for a function.

Here are a couple of photos of stretched Hummers. One is the four door version. The other is the six door version:





The Hummer was originally designed as a military vehicle. Namely the High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle or HUMVEE I daresay that there are indeed some potential military applications for the stretched Humvee.

The vehicle in its current limousine configuration modified to mil-specs can ideally be adapted to serve as a mobile war room. The vehicle (especially the six door version) can be configured as an omnibus for the purpose of transporting platoons to an airfield, naval base or urban combat zone.

Likewise, it can serve as a carrier for police SWAT team officers to a situation. Especially during a riot. In its limousine configuration the vehicle can serve as a police, ATF, or FBI command center during an emergency.

A stretch Hummer would also be ideal for prisons in which guards can be transported in quantity to deal with emergency situations.

As such, the Humvee was originally designed for military purposes. So, it would be quite easy to produce armor plated stretch Hummers for police and military use.

In civilian security applications, a stretched Hummer can be serve as an omnibus for transporting security staff to an entertainment, sporting or other public venue.

So basically, there's much more to a stretched Hummer than just a limo.

What? This wasn't in the joke section!?

Those are consumer H2s, not H1s, and of course bare no resemblance to any military variant.:pat: Modifying those for military applications would be no different than modifying a Chevy Suburban, just more expensive.



Here ya go, the real deal, with jumpseats for the troops already installed. :thumb:

There is no reason that a 15 passenger van can't be used in the examples you gave above. Troops to the airfield, deuce and half truck. Prison guards, 15 pax van. When you stretch the Hummer you lose the high mobility part.

Guys. Forget the limousine. Think of the military vehicle being stretched.

Yes, it would. This, however is more or less an illustration of how the mil-spec H1 a stretched form could have military applications.

The high mobility part would not be necessary in rapid deployment of police and military personnel in most urban combat applications. Furthermore, the six door version would have a different seating configuration designed for carrying more than 15 soldiers or SWAT team members. The interior of the four door version would not have any of the consumer attributes. It would have all the attributes of a war room or command center.

Stretched H1 Hummers would also be armor plated in the same manner as the short wheelbase H1's used in combat.

Besides, with that bar, the troops would be in no condition to fight when they did get to the scene.

There would be no bar in a mil-spec stretched Humvee. The vehicle would have a bus type seating arrangement to carry the troops in the six door version and the interior of the four door version would have computers, a table, communications equipment and various other things the generals would expect and use in a regular war room. In short, it would make it easier to convey intelligence from the main war room to the troops on the field.

Still wouldn't be high-mobility trying to negotiate a disheveled urban combat zone in a stretched vehicle, let alone slaloming the barricades to get into/out of the Green Zone! :pat:
