Throughout its history Land Rovers and the armed forces have been closely linked. The rugged go anywhere capabilities of the 4x4 combined with its ability to adapt has made it a popular choice with UK armed forces and those of other nations. The British Army trialled a fleet of Series 1’s back in 1949, and the rest is history. Each generation of the vehicle has seen service with either the Army, Royal Navy, or RAF. Today’s military Land Rover closely resembles the Defender and is available in short and long wheel bases, like the Defender 90 and 110.
