Given the LAV-75's design intent as deployable light armor for a Middle Eastern intervention force, the Gulf War happening in-timeline is an elegant and appropriate rationalization for its in-game existence.
(It does raise the question of how a T2k with a Gulf War remains compatible with
RDF Sourcebook and
King's Ransom.)
