Army debuts armored combat vehicle, but don’t call it a tank
said the M-10 Booker development program evolved to address an “operational shortfall” in infantry units. It was intended to neutralize enemy foxholes and bunkers and take out heavy machine guns.
The M-10 Brooker is “absolutely needed today,” retired Maj. Gen. Patrick J. Donahoe, a former commander of theArmy ’s infantry combat teams have no assigned fighting vehicles other than Humvees. Gen. Donahoe said the M-10 Bookers and fielding future infantry squad vehicles will allow the infantry companies to move with organic vehicles.
“The M-10 would be used, much as the original tanks in the First World War were, to defeat the machine guns that tie down infantry, destroy fixed positions, and to destroy light armor in order to restore mobility to the infantry,” he said.
