The Army needs a new ground combat vehicle, a senior Army strategist believes. Speaking before a panel of colleagues hosted by the Association of the U.S. Army, Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster said that a next-generation ground combat vehicle, equipped with the latest technologies, could make the difference in outcome of future conflicts. “An imaginative engineering concept … will give us back the kind of close combat overmatch we need today and in the future,” said McMaster, the head of the Army Capabilities Integration Center, U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command. “We need to develop new combat vehicles that give us close combat overmatch,” he said.
