About
MRAP Egress Trainer- (MET) is designed to train Marines crews and passengers to safely egress a rollover situation through repetitive use of emergency egress drills. The MET consists of a vehicle cab suspended over a raised platform by two rotating wheels. Met variants currently fielded by the Marine Corps are the Cougar, Buffalo, and JET.
The MET provides Marines the opportunity to experience vehicle roll-over conditions and rehearse and physically execute the steps necessary to survive a vehicle roll-over. Conducting this training under controlled conditions affords Marines the opportunity to gain experience of proper egress procedures, while reinforcing the importance of proper seatbelt/harness utilization, developing awareness of the necessary individual and crew skills needed to execute roll-over procedures, and conduct tactical perimeter security drills. MET training supports USCENTCOM requirements for all Marines/ Sailors to complete vehicle roll-over training prior to deploying to designated combat zones in that theater.
