Just a handful of "bullets" out here from sources I trust without "overloading the system" (That's me.) with additional sources for now.
1. BAE & IVECO to submit the following for the USMC MPC Program. The MPC Program will fill the CORPS requirement for a medium class vehicle that'll essentionally fit in between the EFV and JLTV Programs currently going through revision and or evaluation.
