EM113A2 Rapid Entry Vehicle, U.S. Army Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center in Picatinny, NJ. The REV is a modified Canadian M113A2 Armored Personnel Carrier with bulldozer attachment that is lightly armored, full-tracked and air transportable. It provides rapid entry, non-lethal crowd control and rescue-squad insertion capabilities, allowing them to move and fire from within an armored vehicle.

Innovative features of the original REV 6 six Modular Crowd Control Munitions that can spray non-lethal rubber pellets into a crowd, a larger periscope for greater visibility, plus windows and Bradley firing ports modified for shotguns that fire non-lethal bullets.

The Spiral 2 version contains all these features as well as a bulldozer blade which provides the capability to breach detainee-constructed barricades, and a Bradley-style ventilation system that allows warfighters to fire the mounted shotguns with the hatches closed without worrying about a build up of fumes.
