"The new AMPV is, like its predecessor M113, a tracked vehicle engineered to handle rugged and rigorous terrain; however unlike it predecessor the new infantry carrier will be built with new, reinforced armor, improved mobility and state-of-the art next-generation newtorking technology such as force tracking systems, mission command applications and Satcom links."
Both the Marine Corps and the Army operate vehicles that are practically ancient now. We have many from the Vietnam-Era still serving. Right now that's the like the equivalent of using Sherman WWII tanks during the Gulf War. It's really about time the Army got some kind of upgrade. Hope the Marines jump on this too.
