{"product_id":"us-army-combat-engineer-vehicles-jeffrey-derosa-9780764362798","title":"US Army Combat Engineer Vehicles: 1980 to the Present","description":"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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeffrey DeRosa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0764362798\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780764362798\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Schiffer Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/22\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.10h x 8.60w x 0.80d","brand":"Jeffrey DeRosa","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44045455196415,"sku":"9780764362798","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d1c010e1-2075-45f9-a414-b4924f480e03.jpg?v=1684978852","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/us-army-combat-engineer-vehicles-jeffrey-derosa-9780764362798","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
