US Army's 1990s Armored Systems Modernization (ASM) Program (FIFV, Block III Tank, Crusader)

Hi all, just a sporadic post. Was browsing the new USAHEC website. Found some incredible things, like a 50 slide presentation on M109 HIP not available on the last site. The new site is great, but took some time to get used too. If you've used sites like Pro-quest, the search system is similar to it and hence, much improved. However, much of the content that was on the old site is still not available, E.G Paul J Kern's Collection and Donn A. Starry's. On the upside there is now content that wasn't available on the old site, like the M109 HIP presentation. When the new site gets further expanded I'm planning on editing my old posts to the new links and starting again on some new, long posts that I wasn't able to complete due to the change in site.

That's neat, have you posted a link about that M109 HIP presentation in another relevant thread?

Only good thing out of the Crusader was LV100-5 engine,
That offered a 30% reduction parts, and 25-30% improvement in fuel economy. For a vehicle that get's barely a mile per gallon, is rather impressive.
