Tactical Armoured Patrol Vehicle - RG-31, LAV Coyote, and (partial) G-Wagon Replacement

[McG]

Right, I should put 15,000L of diesel and a squadrons worth of ammo in TLAVs...of course its going in trucks.

It doesn't belong in TLAV. It it should belong in MTVC, but we killed that to save money. And we didn't plan for a replacement under ACSV because that was just designed to replace platforms and variants that we had in service.

Show me an army anywhere that doesnt keep 1 DOS on trucks in their A1 echelons.

Most would keep that in their A2.
