Now the Army wants to fill its light and fast shoes and to do so they looked at three different vehicles last week during exercises in Fort Benning Georgia. Together the vehicles would enable the Army to do forcible entry missions

The Army also wants it to drive cross-country primary road secondary road and urban rubble during both day and night missions.
Lastly the Army is also looking at a light reconnaissance vehicle (LRV) also carried by Chinook helicopters both inside and underneath.
The LRV will carry six soldiers and their gear and it will go on rougher terrain than the other two Humvee replacements.
Under the solicitation category lethality the Army says it wants an LRV with the capability of defeating

Most puzzling is that the support for the use of RAS by the military is stronger in the UK than anywhere in Europe despite strong homegrown opposition by UK pressure groups and academics.
