The '''M831 Troop Transport''' is a ground vehicle based on the chassis of the [[M12 Force Application Vehicle|M12 "Warthog" Force Application Vehicle]]. Like the rest of the Warthog series, the M831 is designed and manufactured by [[AMG Transport Dynamics]]. | The '''M831 Troop Transport''' is a ground vehicle based on the chassis of the [[M12 Force Application Vehicle|M12 "Warthog" Force Application Vehicle]].

The M831 Troop Transport contains no armaments of its own. Instead, it features an extended tray covered in a protective rollcage which provides room for several personnel in the rear section along with one driver and a passenger in the front seats. | The M831 Troop Transport contains no armaments of its own.

Unlike other Warthog variants, the M831 lacks any standard armament, (such as the [[M41 Light Anti-Aircraft Gun]] used by the [[M12 Light Reconnaissance Vehicle]]). As such, a driver must rely on their passengers' armament for offensive and defensive firepower. The usage of a troop compartment instead of a turret affords a 360 degree overlapping field of fire: this can be used to deadly effect when passengers carry an even distribution of anti-personnel and anti-vehicle weapons. Unfortunately, passengers riding behind the cab are highly exposed to enemy fire, much like the gunners on more typical Warthog variants. | Unlike other Warthog variants, the M831 lacks any standard armament, (such as the [[M41 Light Anti-Aircraft Gun]] used by the [[M12 Light Reconnaissance Vehicle]]).
