Ike Skelton, D- Mo., hailed the move Wednesday. He had sent a letter to the Pentagon in December asking that the old vehicles be pressed into service. However, trucks that do not carry additional armor routinely travel on Iraq's roads and are frequently targeted by roadside bombs. GALLOWAY. Knight Ridder Newspapers. WASHINGTON - The Army, beset with complaints that its troops are going into combat in inadequately armored Humvees, will send an older and less used class of armored personnel carriers to Iraq after spending $8. 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. Thomas Metz, the ground commander in Iraq, and approved by Gen. George Casey, the commander of multinational forces in Iraq. It can be fitted with a . MK1. 9 4. 0mm grenade launcher. It has a range of 3. It also can swim. The demand for armor on the Humvees grew as insurgents began pouring RPGs onto American patrols and convoys, and detonating deadly homemade bombs in the late summer of 2. Its prime focus has turned now to armoring the five models of trucks that travel Iraq's dangerous roads to supply American forces. Notice that drug runners can employ fixed- wing airplanes to . We are just LAZY and don't want to do what it takes to win in the U. S. Note that YET AGAIN its the M1. Gavin that is mechanically durable and reliable that is PRESENT FOR DUTY kicking ass and using its LIGHT tracked mobility to get there and beat the bad guys (where's the LAV/Stryker wheeled trucks?). The wheeled trucks are not there because like the drug runner's trucks they need to find roads/trails and the M1. Gavins can go wherever they need to go to get the drug runner's bases. Also note the irony that Army Chief of Staff Schoomaker wants the Army in the image of his days as an advisor to the El Salvador Army and his light infantry narcissist- from- a- wheeled- truck mentality isn't even right for Central America- -M1. Gavin light tracks are needed to fight well and break brush for unpredictable, cross- country mobility. Clandestine Airstrips Emerge As Front In Drug War. By Juan Carlos Llorca, Associated Press. EL SACRIFICIO, Guatemala - - Huddled together aboard two vintage tanks, 4. Soldiers plow through dense jungle on a four- hour journey to a little- known battlefield of the drug war. Their mission, here in Guatemala's wild north: Blow up dozens of clandestine airstrips used by. Colombian cocaine. Drug Enforcement Administration estimates that 7. United States passes through Central America. It is here that Guatemalan drug- trafficking organizations serve as a link between their Mexican and Colombian counterparts, unloading and splitting up tons of cocaine into smaller shipments that can be transported more easily by land. Mark Wilkins, the senior U. S. Moreover, Interior Minister Carlos Vielman acknowledges that most government institutions are infiltrated by organized crime. Last year, U. S. But for the past three months, no flight has been spotted, the Guatemalan army said. But the military has to contend with antiquated equipment - - the tanks are M- 1. Vielman said the traffickers have enlisted the land invaders . Fearing repercussions, task- force officers use aliases. Vielman said the authorities worry that Guatemala will go from being a transit country for drugs to being another place where coca is grown. Vielman said. We have to prevent it.! Fortunately for those of us in the land of the living who need present- day answers, the reliable and easy- to- maintain M1. 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.
