Force on force operational testing of lightweight armored combat vehicles is the main theme of this report. The purpose of this test was to obtain data that will support future decisions for the orderly transition of lightweight antiarmor technology into cost-effective options for possible service development programs; explore that combat effectiveness of combined arms forces which utilize lightweight, highly mobile and agile antiarmor combat vehicles. The test was a two sided force-on-force field experiment with near real time casualty assessment employing a conceptual (surrogate) vehicle with characteristics representative of the 1986 time frame. Its objectives were to obtain data which will assist in determining the combat effectiveness of combined arms forces employing lightweight, highly mobile and agile combat vehicles; to obtain data which will assist in identifying the command and control problems peculiar to combined arms forces employing lightweight, highly and agile combat vehicles; to obtain data which will assist in evaluating the relative combat effectiveness of selected tactics and techniques for combined arms forces employing lightweight, highly mobile and agile combat vehicles; and to obtain data which will assist in identifying potential logistical supportability problems associates with combined armes forces employing lightweight, highly mobile and agile combat vehicles.
