One thing scouts always do is look around and find the enemy.  Once
they find them, what do you want them to do about it?  If your answer
is "shoot", then you need to give them something to shoot with.  If
your answer is "report and let someone else deal with it" then Hummers
(with just enough firepower for self defense) should suffice.
