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. Most would keep that in their A2.

Europe and North America watched the 1904-1905 Russo-Japanese War and decided it did not need to take aboard lessons from those lesser militaries. Then in 1914 they learned that industrial era rifles, machine guns, and artillery were in fact substantial change factors in warfare. It's not...

The updated nomenclature letter?

Were you reading something from CA HQ, or a product compiled in a div or bde HQ?

There will be no formation with a role of "protection brigade". That idea is dead.

They were probably a week or two too late to exploit the Iranian protests. Regime was given sufficient time to moderate those.

Not good news. Two pilots flying Air Canada jet killed in crash at LaGuardia Airport Error by air traffic control let a fire truck onto runway.

There are options beyond FPTP and PR. We are not stuck in a binary choice.
