"SUGV is probably the best [equipment] of the CP 11 that we have. It gives us a better stand-off to actually see what's coming up ahead rather than put actual soldiers up in the front and be surprised. The SUGV actually does save lives."

"The SUGV was dropped into a concrete tunnel about 20 feet deep. It maintained its link to its operator. And that, one of the solders said, was what it was all about. He wouldn’t have to crawl through a tunnel …hoping there weren’t any booby traps or insurgents waiting for him."
