Arma Secreta
São considerados pelas Nações Unidas o último recurso para estancar um conflito que começou em 2013.
159 militares portugueses integram a Terceira Força Nacional Destacada na República Centro Africana, o sexto país mais pobre do mundo, à beira de uma guerra civil.
Os Séleka, de maioria muçulmana, e os Anti Balaka, de maioria cristã disputam território num país rico em diamantes, ouro, petróleo, terra fértil, é água em abundância.
O conflito tem subido de tom, é nem os cerca de 12 mil capacetes azuis da Minusca, a missão da ONU, parecem conseguir travar a violência que já obrigou mais de um milhão de pessoas a abandonar as suas casas.
"Arma Secreta", é uma grande reportagem dos jornalistas Sandra Claudino e Tiago Passos com edição de Guilherme Brízido.
O "Linha da Frente" é um dos espaços mais premiados e mais vistos da televisão portuguesa. Com coordenação da jornalista Mafalda Gameiro, todas as semanas retrata uma realidade diferente, com a ambição de mostrar e contar mais histórias do mundo sem esquecer o seu foco português.

Curiosidade. Alguém aí já conseguiu a proeza de ver um pqdt brazuca equipado na íntegra com o COBRA 1.0, já que a Brigada é uma das undes de experimento deste projeto?
Mesmo como simples demonstração.

Bem, ao menos isso explica em partes as AM-21 serem um verdadeiro xodó no EB.

Reactivated unit gives 82nd Airborne an armored component that packs a Marine Corps-style punch

More than three decades after getting out of the armor business, soldiers with the 82nd Airborne Division have reactivated a company that will add Marine Corps armored vehicles to its formation.
Last week, the All American Division reactivated Alpha Company, 4th Battalion, 68th Armored Regiment at Fort Bragg, North Carolina.
The unit had been deactivated in 1984 after having served as the United States' only “airborne tank battalion,” according to the Fayetteville Observer.
The unit was active in the division since 1968 and served as an armored unit for airborne forces. It included the M551 Sheridan tank in its arsenal.
But this time around, soldiers will be driving a vehicle in the Marine Corps inventory, the Light Armored Vehicle-25A2. Members of the division began training on and testing the LAVs in 2016, as reported by Marine Corps Times.
Soldiers conducted airdrop tests with the LAV and chose it over the Army’s Stryker vehicle due to its lighter weight, portability and firepower, officials said at the time.
Four LAVs can fit on a C-17, versus only three Strykers. The LAVs being used by the division come equipped with a 25mm cannon.
Across the Army, units have shifted from lighter equipment to heavier, more robust and lethal equipment to counter what has been called a return to “great power competition” with Russia and China.
In September, Army officials announced that it would convert one Stryker brigade combat team to an armored brigade combat team and an infantry BCT to an SBCT by 2020.
That followed a 2017 announcement that the 3rd Infantry Division’s 2nd IBCT would convert to an ABCT.
The changes give the Army a total of 31 BCTs in the regular Army — 11 armored, 13 infantry and seven Stryker. The Army National Guard will retain 27 BCTs — five armored, 20 infantry and two Stryker.
At nearly the same time as these changes are taking effect, U.S. Army Europe is adding 1,500 soldiers to the current 33,000 troops in Germany. Those soldiers will add a field artillery brigade headquarters, two multiple-launch rocket system battalions, a short-range air defense battalion and support to the Army’s footprint in Europe.
The firepower upgrades provide tactical and operational benefits for the core mission of the 82nd Airborne Division’s global response force, which includes providing a quick-reaction force anywhere around the world as needed.
The global response force mission requires a battalion-sized element from the division to deploy within 18 hours anywhere in the world — a scenario experts think could be likely should Russia push into the Baltic states or into the Balkans.

Capt. Aram Hatfield and 1st Sgt. James Grimes lead the newly reactivated Alpha Company. They’ll now share a connection with Army Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Milley, who the Fayetteville Observer reports started his career with A Company, 4th Battalion, 68th Armor Regiment as an assistant battalion maintenance officer and platoon leader.
The LAV is an eight-wheeled vehicle that weighs 31,000 to 38,000 pounds, depending its configuration. The vehicles also use a three-person crew and can carry an additional six troops, according to General Dynamics Land Systems.
The Observer reported that airdrop tests had been conducted on the LAV back in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The 82nd also experimented with the LAV-25s during Operation Desert Storm.
General Dynamics conducted its own airdrop tests on both the LAV and the Stryker in the early 2000s, said Michael Peck with General Dynamics.
That required some minor chassis modifications to accommodate parachute rigging attachments. Marines most often deploy with the vehicles loaded aboard ship.
Last year, Marine officials said that the division was interested in obtaining as many as 60 LAVs.
The Marine Corps is in a long-term process of developing a new vehicle to replace the LAV but has not publicly divulged detailed work on the project by the Office of Naval Research.

Re: Artigo Brigada de Infantaria Paraquedista
Os Paraquedistas do Exército Português, que constituem a Força de Reação Rápida da Missão das Nações Unidas na República Centro-Africana, continuam empenhados na segurança e defesa da população.
No mesmo dia em que estiveram em combate durante mais de quatro horas, contra um grupo armado bem equipado e organizado, entraram novamente em combate com elementos armados durante uma patrulha noturna, executada nesse mesmo dia, no interior da cidade de Bambari.
Exército Português, combatendo por um Mundo melhor!
