The VS-17/GVX is a compact signal panel that when fully extended measures 2 feet across by 6 feet tall, it has hi-viz colors on either side, both Orange and Pink. This style of signal panel has been used since the Vietnam war and is quite useful and actually used more often than one would think. The has tie downs and snaps at each corner, the panels can be snapped together to form symbols, numbers, or letters.
here is mine (I need to turn the ISO down on my camera
)

I was just going to post pictures of the panel itself for reference until I realized that I had seen a panel in one of the 490 SF pictures I downloaded a little bit ago, so I went on a hunt and was pleasantly surprised to find quite a few pictures with that little hi-viz panel hiding in plain sight!(how'd you like that little pun?)
Without further adieu, here they are.
This one was also posted in the Pro-Tec thread...funny how that work eh?

This one is hard to spot, but I think I see a bit of pink to the top left of the rear door. Also, the camo on the HMMWV is absolutely badass...this is one of my favorite pictures![Very Happy](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_biggrin.png)
