Picked up in yermo, did a FOIA request for service logs and they basically said what truck? never heard of it... There is what looks like a bullet hole in the front fender (small entrance big hunks of fiberglass broke out on the back side) and what sure looked like shrapnel was sticking out of the face of one of the tires, also fond spent 50 cal brass in several places. Makes me wonder what all it got up to in its 18 years of service. Still has its IR headlights (dual lamps one Halogen and replaceable, the other LED IR)

I looks like a usmc recon style logo. But I can’t imagine them using a truck ? Not very silent !

well maybe with the .50 they didn't feel the need to be silent? These trucks sure can move fast cross country so would get the swift part...Kind of wondering if it was a forward OP kind of use for artillery unit maybe?

If you could find some bumper numbers and post them there might be someone here able to figure out what unit it was in.

Marines don't use bumper numbers for ID, but it looks like maybe the unit ID is right there in the photo with the emblem, just need the last number of the UIC.
All Marine units have a UIC (Unit Identification Code), it is an M followed by 5 numbers. It is usually somewhere on the door of MVs, sometimes also on the back and occasionally on the front. On Humvees and vehicles without hard doors, it is usually on the body under the door opening.
Below is a good example on my M813. M21640 is 8th Comm Battalion
If you can get the complete number, I can look it up on my list.
Cheers
