About the M1025 and the Screaming Eagles:
The M1025 armament carriers provide mounting and firing of the MK19 automatic grenade launcher; M2, caliber .50 machine gun; and M60, 7.62 mm machine gun; ring-mounted with 360° arc of fire, with armor protection for crew, weapon components, and ammunition.
Fully-loaded M1025 armament carriers will climb road grades as steep as 60% (31°) and traverse a side slope of up to 40% (22°). The vehicles ford hard bottom water crossings up to 30 inches (76 centimeters) without a deep water fording kit and 60 inches (152 centimeters) with the kit.
One of the principal U.S. follow-on units involved in Operation Iraqi Freedom was the famed 101st Airborne Division, the ‘Screaming Eagles’. They were tasked with securing and stabilizing their assigned areas of Iraq, and their Humvee vehicles were central in their efforts.
