“The replacement vehicle for SASR’s Afghanistan and Iraq workhorse, the Long Range Patrol Vehicle (LRPV) is to be named in honour of SASR Warrant Officer Class 2 David Nary who was killed in an accident during mission rehearsals on 06 November, 2005. The Nary SOV will replace Special Operations Command – Australia’s aging fleet of Land-Rover based LRPVs. ‘It will provide greater payload capacity with stronger drive-train, transmission and suspension components and provide an enhanced suite of command, control and communications equipment,’ Lieutenant-General Leahy said.
