The only oddity is the ADATS (NLOS-M in the study) on a LAV-75 chassis that GDW put in the US Army Vehicle Guide, so there's a total of four companies in the army with this system instead of just three (in the 9th ID's ADA battalion)! |
Great Stuff!
That looks a lot more likely than HMMWV mounted scouts! The tracks keep the mobility of the heavy ACR. I think the C-141/C-17 sortie count may have driven the real life choice of vehicles. The NLOS would be a useful addition. And there were M113 scout platoon organizations that included M901s and dragon mount M113s, so there may be a way to get some AT firepower back. Realistically the LACR would be a unit that would flow into theater by strategic air then do its tactical and operational movement by ground.
