Should the Marine Corps Get the Army's M10 Booker?

Beschreibung:

The Army has ended its relationship with the M10 Booker, but the Marine Corps might take over the roughly 80 Bookers. The commanding officer and executive officer of the 3rd Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion argued that the 42‑ton Booker could fill a capability gap created by Force Design 2030 doctrinal changes and slow weapons programs while the Corps waits for the LAV’s replacement. We dig into their argument, the flaws, and what else the Corps could field as they await the Advanced Reconnaissance Vehicle.
