the military is supposed to be on 2 programs
regards LAVs
SLEP = Service Life Extension Program
trying to get them to 2015
IROAN = Inspect/Replace Only As Necessary
as the Operational & Sustainment costs on
these vehicles (maybe all mil vehicles) has
risen alarmingly)
if they are following these programs then why
would they remove/replace tires with only 15 to 20 wear ??
if the tires are unserviceable then they should be branded "Not For Highway Use" or
"AG (agriculture) use only"
if they are serviceable then why in heck are
they spending our tax money to replace them?
and why are they only using french tires ??
Ideas ???
