If you read the thread, you will see that I read that blog and was inquiring how it and the Running Wolf blog compare, Running Wolf linked to the Marine Corps purchasing 2717 MRAPS (see post 34).
You may have noticed at your link that Modern Survival blog has this update:
Update 3/7/20113
It has recently been brought to my attention of (ahem cough ) official word with regards to the apparent number of MRAPs owned by the DHS according to a DHS spokesman.
Since this original post, an article written by Business Insider is excerpted as follows:
The Department of Homeland Security is using 16 military-style, mine-resistant ambush protected vehicles for use during high-risk warrants, according to an official spokesman
The MRAPs were transferred to DHS from the Department of Defense, free of charge
The vehicles are modified for use with the DHS Special Response Team specially trained, fully armored agents dispatched during the most severe and high risk situations
[The vehicle] is used in the execution of high-risk warrants including drug trafficking, smuggling, and contraband, We have 16 MRAPs nationwide.
