The budget must have been pretty tight on those.
Had to save money on bodywork and doors. |

Andy those are classified as "future upgrades". Of course an extra charge for not doing it during manufacture is in order. |

Looks a bit light … but we will see … |

But these are for the 1st Infantry Squad. Those guys have to travel light so they can be, you know, first. |

Obviously not intended to transport troops into combat with no armor or even a vehicle-mounted MG to speak of. |

It's a taxi … move under cover as close to OBJ as possible … then move dismounted … |

Legion, that's what they say now. How long before letters come in about the lack of armor? |
| Legion 4 | 21 Dec 2020 5:45 p.m. PST |
I don't doubt it. They had to up armor the Stryker and LAVs as well as make TUSK [Tank Urban Survival Kit] for the M1 … As well has trying to replace many HMMWVs with MRAPs. |
