as I stated the Stingray prototype was produced in August 1984
The M1 had been in production since 1980
and was supplemented at the time by the large stock of M60A4s already in service and stored in U.S. Army and NG depots
the U.S government would not stop production of a Tested and already evaluated tank to put and untested Tank in to production.
LAV-25 entered service in 1983 1 year before the events of Red Dawn
so would not be available in the numbers need to fill out the Marine Corps orders let alone to equip the equivalent of a NG unit
To fill out the unit they would use what they had tons of in reserve, the M113 ACAVs P.S. the LAV-25 is in service with the US Army now as the Stryker family of vehicles

Now on the OOB I was stating the requirements By U.S. Army regulations Table Of Organization for a Armored Cavalry Regiment. (ORGANIC TO AN ARMORED CAVALRY SQUADRON,ARMORED CAVALRY REGIMENT, TOE 17485L100.)
