Husky
The armoured vehicle general purpose (AVGP) comes in three variants: the Cougar, the Grizzly, and the Husky. The Husky is used mainly to provide light maintenance and recovery for the AVGP vehicles within the Land Forces.
The Husky is employed as a support vehicle in all units equipped with the armoured vehicle general purpose (AVGP). Plans are being made to extend the lives of some of the AVGP vehicles and to use them in a variety of new ways. The AVGP entered service in 1976.
