Note: When I see this I cheer and groan at the same time. I believe in the utility of the mechanized raid...especially from the sea, but the lack of heavy armor in the form of M1 Abrams tanks, the lack of a replacement for the AAV (or significant upgrades of that vehicle) coupled with the lack of a dedicated 120mm mortar carrying vehicle (like we see on the US Army's Strykers) points me to one undeniable conclusion. We can do this better.
