As bad as this delay sounds, I personally hope it is to get back on track. I was seeing ads for the Checz Tatra.....not sure what they were thinking considering buying a soviet block truck rarely found in North America.

I typed CMP trucks into the Bing search and came up with lots of pics too.

The original G & M article says that this was a replacement for the medium sized vehicle.

That would be a replacement for the MLVW. But isn't the MSVS such a replacement?

Further, Vol 19 Issue 6 of Esprit de Corps quotes that 2600 LSVWs are to be removed from service.

Further still, Merx has an on-line Opportunity Abstract for spare parts for the LSVW.

Colour me confused.

No, not that I'm aware of. Serious "off-road" restrictions to the MSVS Fleet when compared to the MLVW. MSVS is a MilCOTS.

The Military didn't kill the MLVW, BTW; I hear it was another Federal Dept. I dunno.
