This paper has been written to further the designer's understanding of the military vehicle design parameters, as they exist today, of the modem day field army's need for a new family of vehicles, which will traverse all types of terrain rapidly and efficiently with an increasing variety of cargo an a weapons. The walking army of the past is yielding to the mechanized army on wheels. Since the design of automotive vehicles is at best a compromise, the effectiveness of the completed design depends largely on the talent and finesse of the designer. The GOER concept is such an approach.
