| | GAVINs IN RECENT COMBAT! |
 | | From rifles, mortars, semiautomatic and automatic weapons, and recoilless rifles at the company level to powerful rockets, missiles, and artillery in the support commands, more efficient instruments of war were fashioned to increase the firepower of the combat forces. |
 | | Although all the combat arms were affected by the adoption of the ROAD concept, the doctrine for the employment of tank forces was the least affected by these changes. |
 | | Fortunately, today, U.S. Army officers are being led by world events to rediscover the capabilities and enduring design requirements of the mighty M113A3 which now serves with the U.S. Army's 173rd Airborne Brigade in Europe as a C-130 air-transportable rapid-reaction force. |
