In this video, Giovani from Local Motors gave an update on the company’s enhancements to the Kawasaki Teryx 750cc for the purpose of the Army CoCreate Make-a-Thon. CoCreate is a Rapid Equipping Force-sponsored crowd sourcing effort that nominates operational challenges and works to fulfill those shortfalls with a material solution.
The goal of the Make-a-Thon was to develop a Mobile Command Post that supports dismounted soldier operations. Two Make-a-Thons were held for the MCP: the first, held December 9th-13th of last year, was for design concepts and first iteration prototyping. The second, which took place January 13th-16th, was held to further refine the community-developed design of the MCP.
Army CoCreate is an online community developed by Local Motors and the Army Rapid Equipping Force (REF).
BTW, nice shirt Giovanni.

Why am I not surprised to see you on here Pro Patria?:D
FYI, Pro Patria was our biggest online contributor during the whole process.
Awesome, thanks!
