MRAPs go to Korea.

Wow.

Pretty awesome news.  Not awesome in a good way but more like awesome in the ... DOES ANYONE IN D.C. HAVE A CLUE!...kinda way.

I could be wrong (I could easily be wrong) but I haven't heard of any ideas, guidance, planning or policy regarding the use of MRAPs in regular Army formations.  Read the entire article from Stars and Stripes but check out this....

“Beyond the increased force protection MRAPs offer our soldiers, MRAPs provide the 2nd Infantry Division the best platform for ‘mission command-on-the-move’ systems that allow our commanders to take command-post communications (and) command-and-control capabilities with them while circulating the battlefield,” he said.
Asked if the 2ID was concerned how North Korea might respond to the MRAP testing, Scrocca said, “The addition of MRAPs improves the 2nd Infantry Division’s force protection capabilities and enhances our ability to preserve peace and deter aggression on the Korean peninsula.”
Officials said most, if not all, of the MRAPs being delivered to South Korea were previously deployed in either Iraq or Afghanistan and were refurbished in the U.S.
Mutter said U.S. military officials want to “capitalize on our experience in Iraq and Afghanistan” in figuring out how MRAPs might best be used in South Korea.
To the best of his knowledge, Mutter said, this month’s deliveries mark the first time MRAPs have been on the Korean peninsula.

Read the whole thing but I would pay good money for one of these people to look at a reporter and say...Hey buddy I just don't fucking know!

But they won't.  Instead we get bullshit like..."enhances our ability to preserve peace and deter aggression"....

Geez!

Long story short.  The US Army and Marine Corps will store most of these vehicles, will give a few to federal, state and local law enforcement and the rest will be gifted to foreign countries.

They won't become a part of regular units except for maybe a few EOD and Military Police outfits and this will be looked back as a tremendous failure.  Not because they were bought in a hurry but because too many were bought with no plans for the future.
