"The committee understands that the Army has placed a priority on backfilling those units that provided UAHs to meet CENTCOM's urgent requirement."
" The committee notes that the Army has taken aggressive action to satisfy CENTCOM's evolving force protection requirements for UAHs
by redistributing existing UAHs for other major command's assets not committed to OIF or Operation Enduring Freedom;
diverting newly produced UAH to Iraq;
and increasing the production of wheeled vehicle add-onarmor kits and UAHs."

The Senate understood the Army's " urgent " and priority " status to bring more UAH on line and to theater.
The Senate understood that the UAHs would only be produced at the rate of 300/ month, until the rate would increase to 450/month.
And yet, these Senate dirtbags would have knocked over their grandmothers, rushing to the mics to bemoan that only 300 UAH were being produced per month.
The more I see of the members of our national embarrassment, aka The US Senate, the more I worry about the future of our country.
Because the Senate clowns are only worrying about their own futures-the future of country and the military, be damned.

Don't forget that was 300 per month till 9-2005 and the Senate knew it wasn't possible to start to produce the 450 per month until 11-2004.
BTW.....This is the thread a referenced in the 1st post.

And why were they only making 450 Humvees a month?[Because it was law, that's why]
