errors in existing OOB's

[Backis]

Isn't issuing "M29 Inf Cbt Wpn" and "M25 20mm GL" from...

-Obat 12 USA
January 1 2006 (Unit 707 Ranger Squad)
January 1 2006 (Unit 428 Ranger Patrol)
January 1 2007 (Unit 383 Airmobile Squad)

...and especially...

-Obat 13 USMC
1 January 2005 (Unit 748 SEAL Pathfinders)
1 January 2005 (Unit 741 SEAL Team)

..lets say, a bit optimistic considering the status of the project?

The problem is compounded in that the units are ONLY available with M29/M25 after these dates, which atleast for the 1 Jan 2005 date is pure fantasy. SEAL's haven't been running around in Afghanistan and Iraq with any "M29 ICW".

That the Rangers or ANY unit would have gone fully or even partially "M29/M25" by 2006 is extremely doubtful if at all possible.

The XM/M29 OICW is by all extents dead. The KE-unit is now known as the XM/M8, the 20mm CE-unit is cancelled or at least indefinatley suspended from development.

What may become available out of the program is the M8 rifle/carbine/PDW and the 25mm (not 20mm) XM25 grenadier carbine, which has no KE-unit.
