The air-portable §Einsatzfahrzeug für spezialisierte Kräfte" (ESK, or "Light Protected Vehicle for Specialised Forces") "Mungo" is used to transport personnel and equipment in airborne units of the Bundeswehr, in medical and support units. The "Mungo" entered service in 2005 and, since then, it has seen active service in Afghanistan and in the Democratic Republic of Congo. In addition to the ESK "Mungo", the Bundeswehr also procured the "Mungo" 2 Mehrzweck Multipurpose Vehicle based on the same chassis but fitted with a deposit tipper system. In the near future, the "Mungo" 3 A/C-Spür Nuclear/Chemical (N/C) Reconnaissance Vehicle will also enter service with the Bundeswehr. This publication describes all Mungo variants for the very first time and in great detail.
