An event went under everyone's radar a couple of weeks ago because we were all focused on the DAGR missile being fired from a ground vehicle.
I didn't take into account what this could mean for established Marine Corps units.
Like the Combined Anti-Armor Team. The concept has merit and is an on again, off again formation, but add the trailer from Lockheed Martin--with the Pedestal Mount (possibly raise it and use the 4 pack for hellfire missiles instead of the single mounts)---with two quad packs of DAGR missiles and you have enough firepower being towed by one vehicle to lay at least half a company of mechanized infantry to waste.
That's more firepower than a LAV-AT (anti-tank)...In the defense you can drop the trailer, put your fire control system in the bush and you have an instant anti-armor ambush set up and ready to be controlled by a couple of Marines....at a chokepoint the results could be devastating.
We watched the video without seeing the possibilities. Eyes open now.
