The bottom line is that the US could not sustain ground combat operations anywhere on the planet.

    Okay so my app bugged out while sending my response, so this is a loose reiteration. Apologies if its redundant.

    Five of six selected Army ground combat vehicles

    This isnt 6 individual vehicles. Its 6 fleets of different vehicle models. 5 of the 6 fleets of army combat vehicles have not held a 90% mission capable rating for a full fiscal year.

    That is very different than saying 20% of ground vehicles are mission capable.

    Edit: It refers to “types” in the cover letter, not fleets

    To address our objectives, we selected 18 types of Army and Marine Corps ground vehicles.
