The D-rings are there to gain access if the people in side cannot open/get out of the vehicle..ie: explosion, roll over or any thing else. hook a winch or 1 hell of a strap and pull (yank the thing open) to break the lock inside if used..

That is if the battle locks have been engaged. Otherwise you can open from the outside.

The older 1114s had bolts on the outside of the door (recessed in the body armor) that could be broken off with a little 4-way that is velcro'd behind the rear passenger. Crank on the bolt and the heads snap off - dropping the battle lock inside the truck. The little 4-way is also used to loosen the nut on the air cleaner cover.

True, and if the 4 way WAS there, you could do so if needed. That said, ours did not have them (they were hand me downs). Hell even the new ones (to us straight from the factory) didn't have them. well, except for 1. and it promptly went missing.

So did our goverment piss away money on those 100 and 200 series Cruisers in the background?

I don't think so. I see more Cruisers outside the wire than I do H-1s. This wasn't at my base so I have no idea if that H-1 even gets used. I just saw the logo ,so had a medic take a pic of me by it. It was actually for a friend of mine back home who has a couple of Caddys. I just thought you guys would get a laugh from it too.
