However, trucks that do not carry additional armor routinely travel on Iraq's roads and are frequently targeted by roadside bombs. Its prime focus has turned now to armoring the five models of trucks that travel Iraq's dangerous roads to supply American forces. I'm joined now by our CNN military analyst, General David Grange. Even though the military had not yet been given the mission to rescue the hostages, members of the Unit began to run through the mission. The military says soft-sided Humvees are generally only used on military bases. Rolls on tracks that are cross-country mobile and do not puncture and burn like Stryker truck tires Notice that more Soldiers have died in 300 Strykers in only a few months of Iraq duty with all kinds of armor slapped onto them at the cost of millions of dollars than the few who have died in over 1,700 "vanilla" applique' armor-neglected M113 Gavins already in combat in Iraq for over 2 years! An Army representative, who didn't want to be identified, said Monday that $84 million was being spent to add armor to 734 M113/A3s and M577s.
Critics have charged that even with armor the Humvee is too easily destroyed by rocket-propelled grenades and improvised explosive devices. They belonged to TF Gator, the conventional force charged with conducting the main H-Hour assault on the comandancia. The suicide bomber killed at least 6 and wounded 24 others outside the main gate to the center. So his main job is training and equipping. BILLIONS and years of preparation time on inadequate Strykers and Humvees, the American Soldier turns to the greatest armored fighting vehicle of all time, ever--the M113 Gavin to save the day and bring him and his buddies home alive to be living not dead heroes. 3. Also note the irony that Army Chief of Staff Schoomaker wants the Army in the image of his days as an advisor to the El Salvador Army and his light infantry narcissist-from-a-wheeled-truck mentality isn't even right for Central America--M113 Gavin light tracks are needed to fight well and break brush for unpredictable, cross-country mobility. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration estimates that 70 percent of the cocaine that ends up in the United States passes through Central America. There are 1, 600 old M2A0 Bradley fighting vehicles (BFVs) here in the U.S. that have thin laminate armor skirts that are of no use to them since these beat up and rotting BFVs need to be completely refurbished and fitted with thicker skirts to hold explosive reactive armor (ERA) tiles since the skirts are bolted directly to the BFV hull without separation to pre-detonate RPGs.
7.stm The assault on Old Terminal was completed within three minutes after the lead plane landed. After a compelling summary of the strengths and weaknesses of historical empires and institutions, he addresses the urgent issues we face as Artificial Intelligence systems engage in our information networks. By these means, constant pressure could be maintained against retreating VC forces, while the .50 cal machine gun was employed to engage and hold the enemy at long range to deter retaliation from RPG teams. The PDF would be able to use these buildings as defensive positions and engage the vehicles moving down the street. If younger Soldiers are not allowed to use and cultivate their imaginations and their abilities for abstract thought, where will we get the next generations of qualified, motivated, and confident commanders? Army officials who pushed hard over the last two years for getting the M113 into duty in Iraq said it was more useful, cheaper and easier to transport than the Army's new wheeled Stryker armored vehicle, which also is in use in Iraq.

However, as the ARVN discovered, this meant that when facing the massive amounts of firepower that the NLF or VPA could bring to bear during a firefight, the infantry was exposed to needless casualties, as well as losing the momentum of the attack. The attack came 10 days after another suicide bomber killed at least 21 would-be recruits waiting at the gate.
