While being trained on the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV), Staff Sgt. Jonathan Sowards had a simple but effective way to test the vehicle's innovative suspension. He grabbed a cup, filled it with water and placed it in one of the cup holders found inside the Army's newest tactical vehicle. He then drove it along an uneven tank trail. When the test drive ended, the outcome surprised him. "I hit the bumps going about 35 to 40 mph back through there," he said, "and I didn't even spill one drop." Sean Kimmons, of the U.S. Army Defense Media Activity, reports.
