History
"..."

-...

Since the success of the Ranger Scout Car in the GVAW, they have been constantly serving in the Alliance military. Although most commonly found transporting equipment to and from the frontlines, they are just as home speeding across the fields and dealing with small squads of infantry. However, their poor armor and light armament meant that it was generally unwise for them to be standing toe to toe against main battle tanks. To fulfill this role, several GPMV-2s were outfitted with recoilless rifles for anti-tank duty and flanking support. This was the beginning of the Battle Ranger project, which eventually led to the GPMV-6 Ranger Jeep.

The Ranger Jeep is equipped with a cheaper, multipurpose alternative to the inflexible recoilless rifle of the original variants, the "Milly" 40mm grenade launcher. Although far less effective against tanks, it excels at shredding thin vehicle and battlesuit armor, as well as suppressing infantry with successive volleys of fragmentation grenades. In addition, the Ranger is covered in 1/4" carbon steel plating, enabling the Ranger to take more punishment before being destroyed. In head-on combat, a Ranger Battle Car could stand toe-to-toe with a Multigunner IFV, an impressive feat for an aging GVAW troop transport design.

In addition, after an incident where a Ranger Jeep and a Howitzer crew won an entire battle when the Ranger towed the Howitzer to a cliff overlooking the enemy force with nothing but rope, enabling the Howitzer to rain destruction on an enemy caught completely flatfooted. Following that incident, Ranger Battle Cars were outfitted with electrical winches, allowing them to attach to a hard point on the Howitzer, and tow them across the battlefield, greatly increasing the Howitzer's mobility.
