Thanks gentlemen.

Mr. Owen and Mr. White: Why is the M2/M3 poor conceptually and doctrinally?

82redleg: You answered my unclear question. Problems with C2 with a six vehicle platoon seem to make sense. Also, 4x25mm and TOW more then make up for the lack of a weapons squad - good point. General consenus on this forum recommends adding a third manuever battalion to the BCT - would adding a Stryker battalion to the HBCT (replace the MGS with the M1) fill the gap? A heavier SBCT is interesting - maybe a CV90 type ICV and the M1. The infantry divisions (1,2,3 and 4) would have the heavier SBCT while 1AD and 1CAV have the HBCT?

Fuchs: I take it you are not a fan of the HBCT Combined Arms Battalion?
