Friends, I do see some maneuver benefit in Cavalry formations for the M3.

In the present GWOT however the M113 family is probably just as well appointed for operations in the scope of a multi-terrained counter terror campaign.

As an aside SOP usually renders the top two weapons system on the Bradleys outside of some of the use of force guidance so the vehicle is treated as an overkill/reserve implement.

I feel the M113 is today one of the most underexploited vehicles/weapons platforms. It is ironically well exploited by others such as our allies & even civilian law enforcement.
