I wonder if the M93 might not be better put in the same category with the M577, even though its not really a command vehicle either. Its primary role in the US Army is as an NBC recon vehicle, a role not really required in SP.
If it were actually worth putting in (someone must have snuck it in at one point - as NBC vehicles are totally useless in SP as you say, I would have not have myself bothered to include it), it should probably be in the "command vehicle" formation. And it probably would have next to no carry capacity - it is stuffed with sensors and a few guys twiddling them (to no effect in SP ).

If it's not used in any scenarios, I may well consider nuking it to free up a valuable database slot. It really only would interest a scenario designer who wanted one as a value target or suchlike (ram the points cost up to max say to make it high-value), and even the could make one for a USA scenario that used one from the FRG OOB, as "set captured" and then some unit editing on the load capacity.
