If you compare former Senator Bob Dole's 10th Mountain which had M29 Weasel tracked personnel carriers--but not acted like Light Infantry Narcissisists (LINies)--versus today's foot-slogging, LINie egotists, the WW2 Greatest Generation would kick their asses. The 10th Mountain Brigades need to insist everyone goes to MWS and M113 Gavin light mechanize themselves so they have superior mobility http://www.combatreform.org/itmaneuversabattalion.htm —not trudge with 100 pounds of "lightweight" equipment—and moreover have instant 120mm heavy mortar firepower to reach enemies hiding in the heights above: http://www.combatreform.org/realmountaindivision.htm Pack mules need to be organic--not ad hoc lease from civilians and certainly not BS wheeled FCS robot vehicles that cannot traverse rocky and steep terrains; http://www.geocities.com/wheelsvstracks the High Technology M113 Gavin is the squad's carrier holding superior ammo quantities and types with folding mountain electrical bikes (eMTBs) on the outside: http://www.combatreform.org/combatlight.htm http://www.combatreform.org/atb.htm Pack mule maneuver elements working in conjunction with HT Gavin-eMTB elements would work both the high and low ground putting the squeeze on any enemies. Here's an U.S. Army Command & General Staff College School of Advanced Military Studies (SAMS) report by Infantry officer, Major William Sutey on the need for cross-country MOBILITY (XCM) from M113 Gavin light tracked tanks to improve LIGHT INFANTRY FORCE mobility, protection and firepower.
