Richard,
This may clear things up a bit.

The Small-Unit Support Vehicle (SUSV) is the U.S. Army designation for the
Swedish Bv206 all-terrain personnel carrier.
The SUSV is a full-tracked, diesel-powered, articulated vehicle in the 11Ú2-
to 2-ton payload category. The vehicle's unique steering mechanism involves
articulation of the front and rear cars in relation to each other.
It is fielded in multiple configurations -- M973/M973E1 cargo carrier, M1065
command post, M1066 ambulance and M1067 flatbed -- primarily to units serving
in or deployed to regions with heavy snowfall. The SUSV, however, is
amphibious, and it is equally mobile in marshy or swampy terrain.
