Logistic Vehicle Modernization Project - Replacing everything from LUVW to SHLVW

One more bitch from an early slide deck on the LVM project which showed only 12 "arty" CP versions of the light truck. That exactly equals the number of RegF arty gun troops - nothing for the ResF gun batteries.

So when Bdr Bloggins wraps one around a boulder...

Exactly. No allowance for attrition, on top of being less than operational requirements.

That's going to be a bitch to get into a hide...

im also curious about the blue AFV turret that is over the top right of the side profile picture. Looks interesting.

It is GD's 30mm turret offering.

It appears to be a LAV 700 with an advanced version of the 30mm Kongsberg turret from the Striker A1, but there turret is marked GDLS 30, so...

Neat. Thanks for the picture!

Experience in Afghanistan finally settled on each troop having an M777 tracked command post, and a total of four TLAVs, one for the recce vehicle, one for the TSM and one for each of the two gun detachments. That wasn't the case back in Canada except during some predeployment training. One can only hope that some of the new ACSVs will be designated for that, at least for the deployed battery in Latvia and predeploying subunits.

It's a cunning plan by the Army. When the LSVW is withdrawn, the ResF Arty is without a CP, then no need to replace the C3 How.
