ABSTRACT:
A complete section of pontoon bridge carried on a support structure that is applied to existing apertures on the cargo box of military trucks. The section of pontoon bridge forms a complete weather proof cover for the cargo box and leaves the cargo area free to carry other cargo. Bullet resisting pontoon bridge decking form the sides of the weather proof cover and an inverted pontoon forms the roof. With the section of pontoon bridge removed from its s truck, an armored assault boat can be constructed from the pontoon and decking. The decking is bolted together to form a cabin which in turn is inserted in the upright pontoon. With an outboard motor applied to the stern a motorized-armored assault boat is completed.
