Armor plated problem.


Dear Half-Mast,

I'm stationed in Iraq and we've had a big question come up. If any of the armor on the Bradley is missing or damaged (small bullet holes), is the vehicle considered NMC NMC Nursing & Midwifery Council (UK)
NMC NSSDC Master Catalog (NASA)
NMC Northwestern Michigan College (Traverse City, Michigan)
NMC National Meteorological Center

 environment for the vehicle to be considered fully mission capable.

Vehicles with missing armor may not be able to stop penetration by bullets and other rounds. And if the armor has holes in it, the vehicle won't seal in an NBC environment.

TACOM will soon be adding a general statement to this effect in the PMCS PMCS PMC Sierra (stock symbol)
