Marine Personnel Carrier. Why the Army needs it and not the GCV.
First they've managed to almost...not quite but almost combine their Ground Combat Vehicle Program with their M-113 Replacement Program....
They're proceeding with these programs despite having difficulty describing the need for them and they're making these procurement decisions without any acknowledgement of combat in the Pacific.
Suggestion:
They then need to piggy back on the USMC's Marine Personnel Carrier buy. If the Army is going to be effective and a player in the Pacific then they need a couple of things that the MPC will provide.
1. Fully amphibious.
2. A capability to carry at least 9 fully equipped Marines/Soldiers.
3. Ship board capability from the start.
4. An established supply chain.
Lets be quite honest here.
The Army doesn't appear to know what it wants and why it wants it. Teaming with the Marine Corps on the MPC will show that they're serious about participating and planning for warfare in the Far East.
.
The Marine Corps can help this process by separating the MPC from the Amphibious Combat Vehicle and AAV upgrade offices.
Time to get this done.
31st MEU & The unseen test of strength in the Pacific.
Everyone was focused on the activist in China hiding in our embassy but the Philippine Nation and the US Marines were conducting exercise Balikatan and their Navy was facing off Chinese fishing boats and Destroyers.
The Pacific is where America will be tested.
Are you drunk enough flow chart?
