Coyote prowls the world's troublespots
The Canadian Forces' Coyote command and reconnaissance vehicle,
based
on the 8 x 8 Light Armoured Vehicle (LAV) built by General Motors
Defense,
has drawn high praise from coalition partners during international
operations
since its introduction in 1996. Coyotes were sent to Kosovo in
July 1999,
forming part of a British-led armored brigade, and to Bosnia in
the same
month as a reconnaissance squadron within the Canadian Battle
Group. Other
overseas deployments have included operations in Ethiopia and
Eritrea
from December 2000 to July 2001 as part of a United Nations
peacekeeping
effort, Macedonia in August and September 2001 in support of NATO
Operation
'Harvest', and Afghanistan as part of the US-led Operation
'Enduring Freedom'.
