- Gates Proposes $78b in Cuts Over 5 Years ; Marines, Army Take Biggest Hits
The Pentagon on Thursday announced a series of sharp cuts in defense spending over the next five years that senior leaders say will improve efficiencies but leave reduced numbers of Marines, soldiers and key defense systems. The cuts will pare the Army and Marine Corps by as many as 47,000 people, reversing a trend since the Sept. 11 attacks of increased budgets and more recruitment. The new cuts also will eliminate defense systems such as the Surface-Launched Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missile and the Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle, an armored boat designed to move Marines ashore rapidly.

Product development for the US military is not what it is in the auto industry. Consider this: General Dynamics Land Systems obtained the development contract for the US Marine Corps' Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle (EFV) in 2000. The EFV was originally scheduled for deployment in 2010. That date has been pushed back until 2015 due, in part, to things like steering problems resulting after water testing, and the fact that the EFV prototypes are requiring more maintenance than had been originally anticipated. The EFV rides on aluminum, double pin, rubber brushed tracks with replaceable pads -- the tracks alone add 2,688 lb per side -- within which there are seven wheels. The EFV's suspension is a retractable hydropneumatic design with 18 in of jounce and 5.6 in of rebound. A retractable f...

- Some House Lawmakers Seek New Approval for Marine Tank
Sparking a potential showdown between Congress and the Pentagon over a weapon the Defense Department doesn't want, lawmakers Thursday supported a high-tech amphibious tank by voting to hold up funds for an alternative vehicle. The seapower subcommittee of the House Armed Services Committee agreed on legislative language that would bar spending on shutting down production of the Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle (EFV) or on developing a replacement until the Pentagon assures Congress that the alternative will adequately serve the Marine Corps' needs.
