I was thinking more along the lines of getting the troops close to the front, then have the ability to press a button to disengage the trailer if the tank needs to quickly maneuver.
It seems like a heavily armored v-hull would be good for protecting troops traveling up and down roads in places like Afghanistan.
Combat troops have no damn business on roads. Helicopter resupply or cargo planes like the C-123 and 130’s work fine.
What is this riding crap? I recall the idiots in late 72-73 at FT Benning. They told all of us in the advanced course that our next war would be fighting in Europe against Russia. That is why all the damn Mech Infantry and combined arms teams.
