Almost correct. It's the Cheetah by Force Protection but the acronym is different.

1 VLEGA Gaucho (Vehiculo Ligero de Empleos Generales Aerotransportable) from Argentina and Brazil (Originally from Brazil).
The General-light car is the initial design of the Scientific and Technological Exchanges between the armies of Brazil and Argentina. This exchange of instruments in the Army, the Agreement on scientific and technological cooperation signed between the governments of Argentina and the Federative Republic of Brazil on May 17, 1980.
In Brazil, the project is being led by the Army's Technology Center (CTEx) and in Argentina by the Research and Development and Production of the Army in that country.
The project began in April 2004 when he was held in Rio de Janeiro, the first working meeting, which agreed on the operational requirements of a car must meet.
The definition of the main components, the physical layout of the car and the responsibilities of each team work was the first step towards the realization of the vehicle Argentina / Brazil.
The engine, gearbox and differential and transfer, produced in Brazil were sent to the Argentine team that designed the tubular chassis and independent suspension.
The semi-mounted prototype arrived in Brazil on June 16, 2005, to perform the work in the workshops of the Arsenal de Guerra of Rio de Janeiro.
The car is performing engineering tests at the Center for Army reviews (CAEX) and will soon be subjected to technical and operational assessments, according to modern methods of evaluation of the Brazilian Army.

It's been over 12 months for this one afther this reply. It's been bumped several times. I haven't been on-line much lately but I am a bit surprised to see this one still here without a proper list with correct answers so far.
Hoping to see it soon

:bump: :bump: yet again
Can we please have a list of who's answers are right and which have still to be solved.
And then put it up for the pros to finish off.
ImpishGrin is a rare visitor, but was recently here. It seems he simply forgot this puzzle or he lost his files or whatever...
I don't know many of these machines and can't moderate this puzzle. Do the others may help?
This puzzle will be moved to Professionals, then.
:bump:
Is he still around?
Okay.. for the moment let's move it to the Pro's.

He was on here about 2½ hours before you posted this!
Unlike some of us, he doesn't seem to spend much time on here at present.
The end of the world is approaching, so I've decided to finally put this gruppenguess puzzle out of it's misery :)
Since it's been so long, I'll be generous and give 2 points for each car: 1 for the model and 1 for the producer. I also won't be too picky and accept almost-correct answers. So, here we go:
1. VLEGA Gaucho by the armies of Brazil and Argentina - 2 points for Oguerrerob
2. Springbuck APC by ? - 1 point for Oguerrerob
3. RAM-2000 by IAI/Ramta - 2 points for Oguerrerob
4. Rhino Runner by The Armor Group - 2 points for Ecnelis
5. ? by ?
6. Millenworks LUV by MillenWorks of course - 2 points for Amsterdam
7. KMW F2 by Kraus-Maffei Wegmann - 2 points for Oguerrerob
8. Blackwater JLTV by Blackwater USA and Raytheon - 2 points for Oguerrerob
9. Cheetah MMPV by Force Protection - 2 points for Amsterdam
10. ? by ?
11. ? by ?
12. Granite APC by Granite Global Services - 2 points for Oguerrerob
13. Blackwater Grizzly by Blackwater USA - 2 points for Oguerrerob
14. Buffel Mk II by ? - 1 point for pieter
15. Dozor-B by KMDB - 2 points for Amsterdam
16. It's a GAZ but not 2975 Tiger, so 1 point for Oguerrerob
17. FTTS by Navistar International - 2 points for Oguerrerob
18. It indeed looks like Plasan Sasa's Hummer by I have it as something else, also confirmed by sources. It's possible that it's the same car, but mine is made in a different country and under a different name.
19. AXE by Mahindra - 2 points for Amsterdam
20. Maverick by Paramount Group - 2 points for Oguerrerob
21. HY-dra by Raytheon - 2 points for Oguerrerob
22. RG-12 by Land Systems OMC - 2 points for Oguerrerob
23. Tornado Intercept Vehicle 2 by Sean Casey - 2 points for Oguerrerob
24. Wasp by Land Systems OMC - 2 points for Oguerrerob
Which means:
Oguerrerob - 26
Amsterdam - 8
Ecnelis - 2
pieter - 1
I will add the points now, you've waited for them long enough :D There is still 11 points to be taken!
PS. I might have made some mistakes when attributing or counting the points, there were a lot of answers to go through. If you feel I did something wrong, contact me by PM.

ImpishGrin, could you please send me the answers via PM? I could keep this puzzle running and won't guess, of course...I know sometimes we got busy with real life but nearly 2 years for an answer while you are visiting this place regularly seems ...uncorrect at least. ;)

I'm sending him a PM right now.
OK, here we go. It seems I'm answering this puzzle every two years on average. The problem is that many of these cars seem to be manufactured by a few companies, sometimes concurrently, sometimes consecutively, sometimes it's just the companies merging, de-merging or changing names. I'm sorry but i don't have time to look for every possible company that ever made a particular vehicle, so I'll award points only for the names I have found originally with the pics, unless provided with a proof.

According to the original post, there should be 24 images of vehicles to identify. I can only see 6, and they are not numbered in order. Can anything be done to reinstate this puzzle to its original state?

Most of the images are gone and it has been almost 5 years since the last response from the thread originator. Perhaps the time has come to toss this into the BH?
Oguerrerob is right with #10 being a DTM Drakensberg. It is the fifth of the few remaining pictures. I will award him a point for that and move this puzzle to the Black Hole as I can't find which vehicle the sixth picture might show.
The first four pictures are already solved (VLEGA Gaucho, RAM 2000, Rhino Runner and Cheetah).
