That was me. Still looking. The Brazillian Army used them and for a brief
performance comparison between the 2x2 Rokon, jeep and M113 APC try:

They were also tested by the US Army in the early 60's in something called
Swamp Fox 2. I have heard that they were used in Vietnam and Desert
Storm on a very limited basis but have no documenation of this. Photos,
personal experience anyone?
