Gulfstream’s military service record stretches a half-century and is marked by versatility, reliability and performance. Gulfstream aircraft perform as trainers and transports, intelligence gatherers and medevac platforms. Today’s fleet is in service to nearly 40 countries, and Gulfstream provides more large-cabin business jets for special missions than any other aircraft manufacturer. Whatever your mission, Gulfstream delivers.

    Projected Acquisition Costs for the Army's Ground Combat Vehicles

    Projected Acquisition Costs for the Army’s Ground Combat Vehicles © MDart10/Shutterstock.com APRIL | 2021 At a Glance The Army operates a fleet of ground combat vehicles—vehicles intended to conduct combat opera- tions against enemy forces—and plans to continue to do so. Expanding on the Army’s stated plans, the Congressional Budget Office has projected the cost of acquiring such vehicles through 2050. Those projections include costs for research, development, test, and evaluation (RDT&E) and for procurement but not the costs of operating and maintaining the vehicles. CBO’s key findings are as follows: • Total acquisition costs for the Army’s ground combat vehicles are projected to average about $5 billion per year (in 2020 dollars) through 2050—$4.5 billion for procurement and $0.5 billion for RDT&E. • The projected procurement costs are greater (in constant dollars) than the average annual cost for such vehicles from 2010 to 2019 but approximately equal to the average annual cost from 2000 to 2019 (when spending was boosted because of operations in Iraq). • More than 40 percent of the projected acquisition costs of Army ground combat vehicles are for Abrams tanks. • Most of the projected acquisition costs are for remanufactured and upgraded versions of current vehicles, though the Army also plans to acquire an Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle, which will replace the Bradley armored personnel carrier; an Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle, which will replace the M113 armored personnel carrier; and a new Mobile Protected Firepower tank, which will be lighter than an Abrams tank. • The Army is also considering developing an unmanned Decisive Lethality Platform that might eventually replace Abrams tanks.

    French Orders of Battle & TO&Es 1980-1989 V2.2

    French Orders of Battle & TO&Es 1980-1989 v2.2 By R Mark Davies for Battlefront: First Echelon (a) 1st French Army, with its headquarters at Strassbourg, on the Franco-German border, was the main field headquarters L’Armée de Terre controlling operations in support of NATO in West Germany, as well as defending France. Although France was not officially part of NATO’s command structure, there was an understanding, formalised by regular joint exercises in West Germany, that France would go to the aid of NATO, should the Warsaw Pact 1er Armée Française (abf) attack. To that end, the Headquarters and two divisions of II (Fr) Corps were permanently stationed in West Germany, with the wartime mission of supporting NATO’s US-led Central Army Group (CENTAG). III (Fr) Corps, based in western France, had I (Fr) Corps (a) the wartime mission of supporting the British-led NORTHAG. I (Fr) Corps, with one division permanently stationed in West Germany, was 1st French Army’s reserve and counter- penetration formation. II (Fr) Corps (a) (b) There is some suggestion that 1st French Army might have become a new SOUTHAG in wartime; controlling operations in the Austrian and Czech border regions. Allied formations would III (Fr) Corps (a) also possibly have been assigned – most likely the West German II (Ge) Corps, which conducted a major exercise in Bavaria under command of 1st French Army in 1987. ARMY ASSETS (c) FAR was formed in 1984 as a corps-sized formation formed BG CWFR-09 from the French Army’s most mobile formations, many of them Forces Françaises à Berlin seaborne, airborne or air-mobile.

  • The Bradley Fighting Vehicle-The Troops Love It Just Like Its Partner-In

    The Bradley Fighting Vehicle-The Troops Love It Just like its partner-in-combat the Ml Abrams tank, the Army's new M2 Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicle is rolling off the assembly line in grow­ ing numbers and finding an enthusias­ tic welcome in the units where it is be­ ing assigned. From the battalion com­ manders down to the squad leaders who fight from the Bradley there is high praise for its speed, agility, fire­ power and protection from artillery fragments and small caliber weapons. Also, just like the Abrams tank, the Bradley has been subject to a great deal of uninformed and polemical crit­ icism leading to its current less-than­ optimal press image. In truth, the Bradley, now fielded in 17 battalions, is a very successful piece of equip­ ment. It does what it was intended to do and does it very well. It deserves more objective treatment by the press and other critics who do not under­ stand its function. The Bradley exists to provide infan­ trymen and cavalry scouts a protected fighting platform on the battlefield where they function as partners of a combined-arms team, closely integrat­ ed with tanks, artillery, aviation and air defense weapons. For the first time our infantry soldiers can move into a new dimension-aboard a protective vehicle from which they can fight the enemy, with the firepower, agility and speed which assures continuous effec­ tiveness on a modern battlefield. This is not just a matter of getting the infantry to the battle. It is the de­ mand that infantry and tanks fight to­ gether, that both be there offering their strengths and protecting the oth­ er's weaknesses.

    Army Transformation and Modernization: Overview and Issues for Congress

    Order Code RS20787 Updated March 11, 2004 CRS Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web Army Transformation and Modernization: Overview and Issues for Congress nae redacted Specialist in National Defense Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Summary The U.S. Army continues an ambitious program intended to transform itself into a strategically responsive force dominant in all types of ground operations. As planned, its Future Force will eventually meld all ongoing initiatives into a force based on a high- tech Future Combat System (FCS). Its Current Force is beginning to provide a new combat capability, based on current-technology armored vehicles, for the mid-intensity combat operations that seem prevalent in today’s world. Its current “legacy force” of existing systems is being modernized and maintained to ensure effective light and heavy force capabilities until the Future Force is realized. This short report briefly describes the program and discusses issues of feasibility, viability, and affordability of potential interest to Congress. It will be updated as events warrant. Background Modernization is not a new issue or objective for U.S. military forces, but it has taken on new urgency because of: the post-Cold War downsizing and procurement reductions, the new global environment and unexpected requirements, and the promise of a “revolution in military affairs” (RMA) suggested by rapid developments in computers, communications, and guidance systems. The last notable surge in modernization culminated during the “Reagan build-up” of the 1980's. Weapons and doctrines developed and fielded in that era made fundamental contributions to United States successes in the Cold War, the Gulf War, and Kosovo.

The development and testing process was long, incloved, and troubled, and deliveries did not begin until 2005. The Bushmaster is based on a design originally conceived by the Irish company of Timoney; considerable portions of the Bushmaster are therefore manufactured under a licensing agreement with Timoney, though production is undertaken wholly in Australia. ADI began the part of the design process done in Australia, but production later passed to Thales Australia, who also developed several variants. (Virtually all of these variants differ primarily in internal arrangements and equipment; externally, almost all of the different versions differ little from each other.) The primary users of the Bushmaster are the Australian Army and Air Force, but it is also used by the Dutch Army and British Army.
