as essential to the entire program.
·
Study lead to determine how new armored vehicles would
impact the Army as a whole. (military
doctrine, organizational structure, training, professional development, personnel
strength and facilities) This study identified which vehicles had the greatest
impact on the Army and how those issues needed to be resolved prior to
procurement.

increase seating capacity to improve
flexibility and accommodate the assets needed for mission success.
