Up- engined, low- ground pressurte, M1. Gavins are what America's LIGHT forces need- -not bloated, high- ground pressure wheeled Humvee/Stryker/MRAP trucks.

Life is complicated; one- size does NOT fit all in war any more than it does in peace. Bureaucrats that want to homogenize America's Army into one medium- weight platform to make their bean- counting life easier are KILLING and MAIMING our Soldiers and harming our defense. More power- to- weight ratio in the Gavin also means more passive armor like described and ACTIVE armor like the IMI Iron. Fist that defeats heavy tank main gun rounds as well as anti- tank guided missiles (ATGMs) and RPGs. We also have the armor to go on the outside of Gavins to make them RPG and landmine resistant as well as stabilized, shoot- on- the- move autocannons to smother all enemies with explosive shell fire.

Both will be tougher and safer than newly armored Humvees. Rumsfeld found themselves at the center of a firestorm last month over the pace of adding armor to the Humvee, a small transport vehicle that's been pressed into service in Iraq as a combat vehicle. Critics have charged that even with armor the Humvee is too easily destroyed by rocket- propelled grenades and improvised explosive devices. Its high sides can't take the steel armor without making the vehicle unstable and even more liable to roll over. Similar slat armor has been added to the Stryker vehicle.

Gavin keeps the light tank concept alive today as a defacto machine gun . After Vietnam, the Army went back to non- warfighting mode as it will after Iraq is done.

The 3rd ID is going back to Iraq and we had to fight to get them their shields since the current Army leadership would rather waste billions on handfuls of Stryker trucks deathtraps than on war- winning TAFVs. A demanding, driven platoon leader, he worked his troops hard and brooked no excuses. His tenacity, passion and bravery have earned him the nation's highest award for courage in combat, the Medal of Honor. The medal is to be presented to Smith's widow, Birgit, by President Bush at a ceremony in Washington. No date has been set. That was expected to happen within days.
