Don,
I don't know what thread it's in but, it dealt with the ADF armored formations from what, 3/4 years ago I think. Remember I had gotten that info directly from the ADF MOD. I believe the ABRAMS/LEO issue came up at that time. I think I still have those emails and will try to find that thread. As part of the ABRAMS deal the ADF did purchase I believe it was 2 or 3 HERCULES (M1A1 modified chassis.) recovery vehicles. The LEO's are gone which I thought was fixed unless I'm missing something here. Have some info on arty as well as the ADF about a year or two got targeting package upgrades for their M777 (Is the M777 an issue? I'll check later this evening.) pieces.
