Comment
From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M1128_Mobile_Gun_System"The M1128 Mobile Gun System is an eight-wheeled armored car of the Stryker armored fighting vehicle family, mounting a 105 mm tank gun, based on the Canadian LAV III light-armored vehicle manufactured by General Dynamics Land Systems. It is in service with the United States Army but will be retired by the end of 2022."
According to: https://www.allnumis.com/medals-catalog/canada/military-challenge-coin-army/canadian-army-mobile-gun-system-221
"In a move toward making the Canadian land forces more nimble and responsive, new fighting vehicles meant to replace Canada's fleet of Leopard battle tanks."
The LAV III is listed on: http://www.army-armee.forces.gc.ca/en/equipment/vehicles/index.page although the Mobile Gun System specifically is not.
