Bradley Fighting Vehicle - Fort Belvoir, Virginia - Military Ground Equipment Displays on Waymarking.com

In this display of the museum, the Bradley is in a recreation of Baghdad with a gunner in position and a infantryman walking along side of it and a drone above. Careful detail was put into this display adding gear on the sides and rear along with potable water tanks and a box of MREs sitting on top. The rear hatch is open but the interior is not illuminated. Behind the Bradley is a wall with picture of Saddam Hussein.

Note: The display lighting changes constantly to give you the feel of both day and night as war never sleeps.
