If I recall correctly, no one from European based units took their Echo companies with them to the desert for the '91 war. Does anyone know if 24th ID and other units from CONUS brought them? The mobility differential in the desert looked like a lethal problem to a lot of people.
Once the Bradley came into play the AT companies -- as equipped -- were sort of a redundancy. I could see using M3s to replace M901s, though what was really needed was something that gave the AT companies a real expanded anti-tank capability compared to the Brads. A ground launched Hellfire was GDW's idea and it's not a superb one, as is . . . but if you were able to network it like the Longbow Apaches, especially if you issued laser designators to the dismounts in the line companies and could have the G-Hellfire carriers sit back out of sight and just lob top attack missiles onto targets identified by guys in fighting positions, that might have been a winner. (Though that wasn't 1996 or 2000 technology.)
