Video: The U.S Army’s New Ultralight Jungle Scouts
Added 2023-10-23 11:48:21 +0000 UTCNew video about an ultralight motorized scout concept that one of the 25th Infantry Division's cavalry troops is developing. This was written about in the Fall 2022 issue of Armor, but one of the NCOs from the test platoon reached out to me with updated and more detailed info on how it's been refined since then

As someone who served as an infantryman in a light Cavalry Squadron’s C Troop, it would make more sense to give the infantrymen the Polaris vehicles because they’re supposed to be the more stealthy option. This would speed up C Troop’s ability to man OPs (a complaint I’m familiar with), while leaving A and B Troops to retain the firepower of their humvees, or JLTVs if they get them. But I guess no matter which light Cavalry Squadron you serve in, if you’re C Troop, you’re the red-headed stepchild of the red-headed stepchild…
