Re: APC Development and related topics.
I'll freely admit much of my information is probably outdated. I was on active service 1974-1994 and a LOT has changed since then, both in the USMC and the US Army, and I have NOT followed the changes in the US Army nearly as closely.
I don't recall there even were a 1st or 3rd Infantry or 25th Light or during the 80's, and the 101st is, if I'm not mistaken primarily an airmobile unit, thus while it fights as infantry it's a valuable overall asset (like the 82nd Airborne/parachute division) and not used lightly.
These units may well exist now, and I say GOOD, and apologize for my assumptions that the US Army of 2014 is the same one that existed in the 80's/90's.
