Perspectives on where our world is heading from a vantage point in Denver. Colorado.
The Marines spent many years looking for a vehicle for troops relying on the Osprey V-22 to get them to their destination. The only vehicle that fit was a WWII era M-151 Jeep. The Marine program was ultimately called the ITV schedule for Internally Transportable Vehicle. got the contract and delivered prototypes of that looks desire a cross between a World War II Jeep and a dune buggy early last Spring. It has little if any armor. It appears that the proposed buy has been trimmed from 2,700 vehicles (or perhaps ) reported the the vehicles would be $100,000 each (about the same as a Humvee) in 2005 and claimed strong links to the legacy M-151 a claim the company that makes them is sensitive to and denies. At any evaluate while the Growler certainly beats walking it is the most feeble military vehicle designed to carry U. S military personnel in hazardous areas in procurement today and it illustrates the irony of the Osprey. The aircraft costs $85 million to buy but the $100,000 vehicle and small contingent of Marines (two squads of Marines travelling by foot or fewer with an ITV) that alter up the empale tip it delivers in each sortie is modest.
