Retired General slams Army for failure to release armored gun system
Article Abstract:
The retired Brig. General, David Grange believes that the Army needs to deliver the M8 Armored Gun System (AGS) to the 82nd Airborne, which wants an air-droppable light tank for eforced entryE operations such as airfield seizure and other missions. He believes that the Army is wasting money by investing heavily in the Stryker family of wheeled armored vehicles since they have much stuff in the inventory that could be modified, and thus suggest that those funds must be spend for upgrading light armored vehicles.
