Current IBCT Design: It is not 3D rapidly air-transportable, not Joint, It is Not New and It is not Designed to Fight!

• The nation should not fund organizations that cannot fight! The promise that future wheeled armed cars with computers that do not exist will do the job of ground maneuver some day by mouse-clicking firepower is not a plan, it is a false hope!

• The argument that the IBCTs forming at Fort Lewis will be used exclusively for peace support operations or small scale conflict is not valid. In crisis, the NCA will deploy what it must to win!--ready or not---casualties or not.

• There is no reason to field a formation that cannot maneuver or work directly for a JTF Commander. The notion that a division headquarters should be deployed to interface with a JTF CDR reveals the real agenda - no change to Army structures…but can launch expensive munitions to grab media attention and insure budget share !
