Designed and introduced into service with the Bundeswehr (German Army) at the end of the 1980s, it was commonly used by German ground forces as a transport vehicle, fire support platform, and carrier for a variety of armaments, including the lightweight Mk20 automatic cannon. Its agility and low weight made it ideal for airborne units and in UN missions in the former Yugoslavia as well as Afghanistan.
