151 had no rolling problems that I ever encountered.

That thing looks like an ATV would be better.
The Osprey could assault land ATVs and Jet Skis! maybe a Ski doo in winter.

The jeep would be more effectively used when dropped on an enemy position from medium altitude, rather than trying to transport men.
