Program Executive Office Ground Combat Systems (PEO GCS) Leads Combat Vehicle Modernization

摘要

Over the last 40 years, the U.S. Army's ground combat fleet has provided the heavy muscle of the world's premier ground combat force. The Army's "Big Five" modernization strategy, started in the 1970s, provided the Army with the M1 Abrams and M2 Bradley Family of Vehicles (FOV). These vehicles spearheaded the coalition victory over Iraq in Operation Desert Storm, and, in conjunction with the M109A6 Paladin self-propelled howitzer, provided the ground combat power to overthrow the Iraqi government in 2003.
