"“I’ve never been more scared in my life. We were able to watch as enemy fire chipped away the rocks we were using for cover,” Little said. “The rock (the trainer) was using for cover had been chipped from about two and a half feet wide to about a foot and a half. The Global Security squad coordinated suppression fire, so we could get everyone together.” As the convoy regrouped, Osmon asked about A-10 close air support and was told it would be about an hour before it could get there."

I want that A-10 type of fire-support to be always available to our troops, on the ground, armored, in the form of an updated M1 main battle tank with the A-10's GAU-8 gattling cannon mounted on it.

I don't want them to have to wait an hour under fire to get A-10 levels of fire-support.

The concept of mounting smaller caliber main armament with very high rates of fire on tank chassis has been tried before. A ground based SP GAU-8 30mm flakpanzer would not be near as impressive as a Warthog. As a direct fire system, it couldn't hit any targets the 120mm Abrams couldn't hit.
