US Army Combat Engineer Vehicles (1980 to the Present)

The struggle for armored dominance sometimes overshadows the vital and unsung heroes of the battlefield: the engineers. Combat engineer vehicles spearhead armored attacks, breach obstacles, and prepare defenses.
Born of necessity, these amazing vehicles have developed from humble beginnings to technological and mechanical marvels. After a slow and unimaginative start, the US Army has developed and fielded some of the most prolific and advanced combat engineer vehicles ever used.

This book provides a rare look at these amazing machines and the crews that operated them. Vehicles covered are:
- the M728 Combat Engineer Vehicle;
- Armored Vehicle Launched Bridge;
- M9 Armored Combat Earthmover;
- M9 ACE and M60 AVLB;
- M1132 Stryker Engineer Squad Vehicle;
- M2 Bradley, Wolverine, and Assault Breaching Vehicle;
- and Grizzly and Panther 2, as well as experimental and limited-use vehicles.

Along with providing technical information, author Jeffrey DeRosa analyzes the operational effectiveness of each vehicle.
