Army planners are building a new type of battalion for the light tank design that is nearing a decision by service officials and it’s going to require more armor crewmen.
The Mobile Protected Firepower battalion concept is becoming a reality but it still faces its share of challenges.
Current plans call for the MPF battalion to reside at the division level. It will then farm out companies to each brigade, said Christopher Stone, deputy director of the Army’s capability manager for the infantry brigade combat team.
Stone spoke at the 2022 Maneuver Warfighter Conference at Fort Benning, Georgia on Feb. 16.
