Ramlaen Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 Snafu has a post about the 82nd Airborne experimenting with the LAV-25A2. After a little digging I found one of their facebook pages had an interesting comment. Quote Very proud that the Army chose 5-73 CAV for this new excursion to assess a Mobile Protected Fire (MPF) vehicle in an Infantry Brigade Combat Team (IBCT). These LAV-25s add tremendous firepower for our Infantry brothers and allow us to protect our scouts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramlaen Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 And a video on DVIDS confirming they are using the LAV-25 to feel out what they want for MPF. Quote 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division conducts light armored vehicle live fire training at Fort Bragg, NC, 3 April, 2017.

ZloyKrolik Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 I guess road wheels don't count. Also, when did units switch to naming companies instead of calling them the phonetic name.
