Secret Service Debut Armored Polaris Ranger "Golf Force One" To Help Protect Trump [View all]

During a golf outing with his son Eric at his course in Scotland on Saturday, U.S. President Donald Trump was trailed by an armored Polaris Ranger X utility task vehicle (UTV) designed to provide ballistic protection. The vehicle, now dubbed Golf Force One by the press, is “part of the Presidential fleet of specialty vehicles,” a White House spokesperson told The War Zone Monday morning. The White House provided no further details. Trump was in Scotland to host a meeting with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer at his resort, where security was beefed up.

The UTV made its first apparent public appearance just 10 months after someone tried to shoot Trump at his Florida golf course. This vehicle was made by the Polaris corporation but modified by someone else, a Polaris company spokesperson confirmed to The War Zone.
