Komisia Polárka RZR (vyslovuje sa "žiletka") je šport vedľa seba vyrábaný spoločnosťou Polaris Industries. Keď bol uvedený na trh v roku 2007 ako model z roku 2008, bol oficiálne známy ako Ranger RZR, pretože sa predával ako podmodel väčšieho, pracovne orientovaného Rangera. Keď si RZR získal popularitu, Polaris nakoniec upustil od označenia Ranger a umiestnil RZR ako samostatný model.
Veliteľstvo špeciálnych operácií USA (US)SOCOM zadalo v septembri 2013 objednávku spoločnosti Polaris Defense na až 1 500 strojov MRZR-2 (2-miestne) a MRZR-4 (4-miestne). Veľkou nevýhodou týchto nových malých vojenských vozidiel bolo, že si zachovali svoje pôvodné benzínové motory, ktoré sú nekompatibilné so štandardným vojenským palivom JP-8. Z hľadiska logistiky nie sú ideálne dva rôzne druhy palív. Keďže len málo takýchto strojov sa používa v boji a civilní používatelia nemajú záujem ich prevádzkovať na naftu, zmena motora sa považovala za nepravdepodobnú.

General Characteristics and Role
The Polaris MRZR (pronounced M-R-Z-R) is a series of highly mobile, lightweight tactical all-terrain vehicles developed by Polaris Defense. Based on the commercial RZR side-by-side vehicle, the MRZR is militarized for use by various special operations forces and conventional military units worldwide, including the U.S. Army and U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM). The MRZR is designed for maximum transportability; its small size and light weight allow it to be internally transported by helicopters like the CH-47 Chinook or V-22 Osprey. Its primary roles include rapid personnel transport, casualty evacuation (CASEVAC), logistics resupply, and mounting light weaponry. The MRZR comes in several variants, most commonly the two-seat (MRZR 2) and four-seat (MRZR 4).

- Engine Type: Available in Gasoline (Polaris ProStar) or Diesel/JP-8 fueled variants (MRZR D).
- Drivetrain: Automatic transmission with 4×4 (All-Wheel Drive) capability.
- Maximum Speed: Up to 97 km/h (60 mph).
- Range: Varies greatly depending on variant and mission, typically over 300 km (186 miles).
- Fuel Source: MRZR D uses JP-8, a common military jet fuel, for logistics commonality.
- Key Feature: The fold-down roll cage allows the vehicle to fit inside the cargo area of small, tactical aircraft and helicopters.
Armament and Configuration
- Armament: Does not have fixed armament, but features integrated mounting points for various crew-served weapons.
- Typical Weapons: Can mount 7.62 mm or 12.7 mm (.50 caliber) machine guns, or 40 mm automatic grenade launchers.
- Mission Kits: Highly modular, allowing rapid configuration for different missions: cargo bed extensions, litter mounts, specialized communications gear, and extra fuel cans.
- Survivability: Built for speed and stealth over armor; its key defense is its mobility and ability to travel where heavier vehicles cannot.
