DOD to Host Static Display of Gunslinger Package for Advanced Convoy Security (GunPACS) Vehicle

March 31, 2010 - The Department of Defense will host a display of a Gunslinger Package for Advanced Convoy Security (GunPACS) outfitted vehicle on April 1. The GunPACS display will be held in the North Parking area of the Pentagon Reservation, adjacent to the Pentagon Conference Center, at 11:30 a.m. EDT.
