==Overview:==
The Scout Buggy, as the name implies, is a simple unit. It's designed to get
in, designate a target for an artillery strike, and get out. While the TAG may
be quite expensive (in fact, it's almost 5/7th of the overall cost), it is
regarded as a necessary evil.

.4 tons of cargo bay have been alotted to the Buggy. Additionally, the rear
hatch on the Buggy has an inner door made of mesh. Given this, most operators prefer to simply remain inside their vehicles whenever possible. 

The open bay provides sufficient room so sleep and eat without fear of weather or enemy soldiers, and the inner mesh door means the operator can get fresh air so long as they leave the outer door open slightly.

==Variants:==
Those operators who expect to encounter OPFOR infantry during their mission occasionally 
sacrifice their sleeping area to make room for a means to counter-act the threat.

The most common method is to simply install crude seats so that a few grunts can go along for the ride. In the event that shooting starts, 
the grunts can step out the rear hatch and provide cover fire. 

An alternate method is for the operator to mount an infantry-portable support
weapon and some ammunition; this is uncommon, as it forces the operator to
drive the vehicle, operate the TAG, and fire the weapon at the same time.
