'A Vehicle That Does It All'

摘要

The Marine Corps is redefining its entire tactical vehicle program in response to problems experienced in Iraq with current vehicles and the need to plan for emerging operational concepts. Several Marine officials told Seapower the Corps will need a new series of tactical vehicles to address its future needs. The Marine Corps Combat Development Command at Marine Corps Base Quantico, Va., is conducting studies on the future of tactical wheeled vehicles, armoring and ground mobility that is due to be completed by late summer. The studies will attempt to define warfighter needs and integrate them with, among other things, sea basing and distributed operations, a concept of maneuver warfare based on small unit tactics and the net-centric battlespace.
