I trust that vehicle will stay in the rear of the battle. It would be like riding in a tin can with no teeth to it.

They'd integrate this in with Bradleys and Abrams from my guess. If this is replacing M113s that's basically how I remember our BN to operate. 2 tank companies, 2 scout companies in Bradleys and then Mortars, Medics and a few other specialty platoons having their variants of the M113s. In said case, They'd do good in the European region

Finally, it's about time we upgraded!
The M113 has been around since the 1960's!
Hopefully BAE engineered it to be easier for maintenance to maintain.
I also wonder if the build in remote unmanned operation capability?

I was a driver for one in my first platoon. POS was forever deadlined for engine problems.
