General Dynamics Griffin: Don’t Call It A Tank (It’s Totally A Tank) « Breaking Defense. WASHINGTON: It looks like a tank, drives on tracks like a tank, fires 1. The General Dynamics “Griffin” is a kind of concept car on steroids, a demonstration of existing technologies that could be quickly fit together for the Army’s Mobile Protected Firepower program. In a 2. 8- ton package — less than half the weight of the M1 Abrams tank (which GD builds), Griffin. General Dynamics director of business development Mike Peck made clear that GD doesn’t expect to sell the Griffin itself as- is, but they’re bringing by Army leaders to get input on a next- gen version that might meet the still- evolving requirements for Mobile Protected Firepower. MPF is the Army’s effort to build a heavily armed combat vehicle light enough to deploy with paratroopers and other light infantry, providing them with, well, mobile protected firepower against high- end foes. MPFs would be the mama bears protecting.
Yanks with Tanks / Useful Notes. The armed forces of the United States of America are altogether the most powerful military force on the planet. The second- largest military in the world in terms of active personnel, with two million active and reserve personnel, the USA also has the second largest existing stock of active nuclear weapons. With eleven aircraft carriers to serve as mobile airstrips and basing rights near on continent (and a lot of amphibious assault ships), the US military has a global reach and relative budget as great as that of The British Empire in her heyday. The USA's spending on its military has generally remained above this level since about 1. Great Powers of the day, and the cumulative effect of this high spending has been an increase of its capabilities. The USA's World War II and Cold- War military budgets were much higher than today's, and when paired with US belligerency scared the Soviets so much it nearly resulted in World War III on two notable occasions* the 'Cuban Crisis' of '6. The 76 mm gun M1 was an American World War II So how do you build a vehicle to burn less fuel? Weight, in turn, is mainly. Able Archer Exercise' of '8. After the conciliatory atttitude of Ronald Reagan laid Soviet fears of annihilation to rest, the USSR's long- term high military expenses (previously needed to keep up with the US) caught up with her and contributed to her relatively peaceful self- dismemberment and suicide. Vast sums, greater than most countries' entire military budgets, are continually poured into various military R& D projects - whether the goal is to produce the most complicated aircraft in existence, or to make a pizza that can sit on a shelf for three months and still taste good. In addition to infantry, the Army has HMMWV's* AKA the . The United States Army is not to be confused with the Army of the United States. The Army of the United States refers to the conscript army that may be raised at the discretion of Congress in times of crisis. It incorporates regular Army units whenever it is formed. This is the branch that really sets the US military apart from the rest. Many countries have sizeable defensive forces but none are anywhere as capable in overseas deployment : the USN has 1. Nimitz- class carriers, and a newer one to enter service soon). All of them are individually larger than any other carrier in foreign service, and indeed are nearly twice the size of the next largest aircraft carriers; in addition, they have ten . Then we throw in the destroyers, cruisers, frigates, nuclear missile submarines, attack submarines, and other assorted specialized or smaller craft and bake at 3. In the 2. 1st century, their continual presence on the high seas and at ports of call all over the world has made them one of the most visible and consistent projections of US global power, even in . In addition to infantry, they have many of the same resources as the Army and Air Force, (armored vehicles, tanks, artillery, helicopters, and jets) just not as many of them. They do tend to practice combined- arms more cohesively in smaller units than the Army and Air Force, down to battalion- level or smaller, which makes even small Marine units very tough, pound- for- pound. The Marine Corps is the smallest (. All this fits with the current role of the Marines in US military doctrine: beyond the amphibious assault it implies, the Marines are the ones called upon in the opening phases of any major military operation, clearing the way for the Army. It has been said that while the other branch's recruiting campaigns tell the prospective recruits about the training, benefits, money, education, etc., the Marines' recruiting campaign primarily promises the recruit the chance to try to become a Marine; the Marines have a reputation as memetic badasses in American society, almost thought to be on a par with the special forces. The USAF is also one of the few air forces in the world with truly stealth aircraft. Amongst the various branches of the US Armed Forces, the Air Force has the most laid back image (sometimes gently chided as . In wartime, they switch over to the Department of Defense. They're also a federal regulatory agency. In any case, they do both military and law enforcement. Specifically, the Coast Guard handles things such as maintaining aids to navigation, marine safety, both military and civilian search and rescue, port security, and maritime interception operations. They can also provide law enforcement expertise to other branches (for example, when the Navy is going after pirates). In WWII, the Coast Guard manned destroyers and landing craftnote which is how one Coast Guardsman, Douglas Albert Munro, would end up receiving the Medal of Honor, posthumously., and one of their cutters took part in the battle at Pearl Harbor. Recently, they signed an agreement with the Navy allowing a limited number of Coast Guardsmen to serve with the SEALs. Department of Defense. Like each service's individual and organized reservists, the National Guard is made up of ordinary citizens (including veterans of active- duty Air Force and Army service) who, after having completed intensive basic and advanced training, serve one weekend a month plus two weeks a year — hence the nickname . As troops of their respective state governments, they're primarily employed in peacetime for the suppression of civil disorder (the Army is legally barred from doing this) and assistance in handling natural disasters, but are relied upon by the Army and the Air Force both as combat forces and support elements in time of war. They operate with the Governor as their commander- in- chief. Typically, have the same duties as the National Guard, such as the suppression of civil disorder and the handling natural disasters. Unlike the National Guard, the state defense forces cannot be federalized without consent of the state's governor and sometimes legislature. This is because they're meant to provide the governor with a trained military force when the state's National Guard units are deployed elsewhere. Members with prior service experience retain their ranks and can advance in grade as awarded by the state, so the rank structure is somewhat inflated with the idea that they'll form a trained unit cadre (core) should a worst case scenario happen. During WWII and the Cold War, they were expected to defend their states from foreign invasion, but today they serve to help respond to national security issues, and are generally trained to be equal to their National Guard counterparts. The actual results vary with each state due to funding, local culture, local needs and interests. Many are starting to be put their paces with this recent spate of natural disasters, and so far have been doing a fair job of it. Many of their members and usually all of their senior leadership are veterans of the regular military, reserve, or National Guard. The list includes but is not limited to: Army Special Forces (the . They also partner with intelligence agencies like the CIA (which has its own Special Activities Division), and many of these units cross- train with each other or attach to other US or allied military units as the mission demands. Also, the Secretary of Defense has the power to grant USSOCOM total control of all Special Operations Forces units, usually in cases of open war. However, Army Rangers are expected to be capable of deploying anywhere in the world within 4. Marines' Expeditionary Forces, first responders. The Army is considered the main land- based fighting force for the United States. Air Force personnel are often tasked with providing close air support for infantry engagements, as well as maintaining air superiority in a given zone. The Air Force also has control over a large number of the United States' nuclear arsenal. At any given moment, two Marine Expeditionary Forces are at sea and ready to deploy at a word. Basically, they're often among the first military troops formally deployed into a zone. Marines, as their name would imply, specialize in amphibious warfare. In wartime they take a coastal- defense role, working alongside the Navy. In peacetime, they are primarily used to suppress civil disorder (the Army is legally barred from doing this, but National Guard are technically state militia and therefore have the authority to perform those tasks) and provide assistance in handling natural disasters. They also are a heavy part of support jobs during war time, such as military police, engineers, quartermasters and medical support. This is due to an intentional restructuring of the Army and Air Force in the post- Vietnam War era, largely in an attempt to curb the Federal Government's reliance on the military to solve foreign policy questions without causing the civilian sector to be immediately impacted, while simplifying the professional military's support structure, which had caused a large amount of bloat in numbers, while not enhancing effectiveness. USSOCOM's various special forces handle missions like counter- terrorism, hostage rescue, unconventional warfare, reconnaissance, infiltration, . Soldiers from SOCOM, normally the Army's Special Forces operatives and Navy SEALs, are generally the first military troops to enter into a country before invasion, normally arriving before hostilities even begin. SOCOM troops are also trained in such actions as militia training and providing rebels with the expertise and firepower to successfully revolt against the current regime. The last time this was not the case was the American Civil War. Think the Transformers movie: Army calling for help from Air Force; Air Force calling for help from.. Giant transforming robots, giant transforming robots calling for help from Action Survivors played by Shia La. Beouf, and Action Survivors calling for help from the Army.

In fact, it's so large that, dating from 1. Americans have been killed per year in car crashes). M1 Abrams. The American iconic MBT The M1 Abrams eclipsed for the last thirty years all past MBTs to date, including the M4. M6. 0 serie. It represented a definitive change in US tank design since World War 2 and was engineered with the crew protection in mind, but without sacrificing either the firepower or mobility. Since numerous reports from the 1. Yom Kippur war were carefully dissected, this was expressed inside NATO as the “air- land battle” concept in 1. Air. Land Battle Doctrine, which emphasised adequate combinations of land and air power to deal with a considerable fleet of soviet tanks with increased lethality. The future tank was to be capable of tactical superiority on the battlefield in order to compensate for the numerical inferiority. The approach taken by the Army staff was not to built the the best tank overall, but to reach any objectives within the lowest budget possible. Since any MBT is a compromise, the process was not simple, and the Army chosen to play for a competitive process, each company trying the best possible tank design for a development at the lowest cost. The two companies chosen were without surprise, Chrysler Corporation (builder of the M- 6. General Motors Corporation (builder of the MBT- 7. Eventually the M1 proved its excellence in combat, during the first Persian gulf war (1. Afghanistan and Irak.

When the existence of the T- 6. MBT generation was even accentuated. At that time theories about AT missiles which could be fired by a tank, like the Shillelagh program tested on the M6. A2 and Sheridan, were largely in favour, but proved later ill- fated in practice and abandoned in the 1. The whole program began in 1. The program however soon encountered multiple difficulties over different armies requirements over the engine, gun, armour features, and overall the use of either the SAE or metric system for measurements. These were settled by using both, and considering all options at once in a same package, raising costs at a staggering levels. However the concept concentrated many new technologies, unheard of for the time. The height- adjustable pneumatic suspension which allowed the tank to elevate or depress the gun like never before, and at the same time, allowed for far greater speeds in a smooth ride. The small body saw the driver always facing the direction of travel. The main gun (for US service) was a 1. MGM- 5. 1 Shillelagh missile and conventional rounds. But the whole program proved to be too heavy, complex, and moreover expensive. Fearing the cancellation, the U. S. Army introduced the XM8.

The name of the new tank was a departure of the postwar tradition, chosen to honour General Creighton Abrams, considered as an equal or even a better tank commander by Patton himself. A veteran of the Korean and Vietnam war, Abrams was promoted Chief of Staff of the United States Army in June 1. In June 1. 97. 3, The Chrysler Corporation and the Detroit Diesel Allison Division of the General Motors Corporation were awarded the contract to built prototypes of the new tank designated M1, handed over to the US Army for trials in February 1. The first prototypes were armed with the license- built 1. L/5. 2 M6. 8 rifled gun (L7), and both were compared in field tests between themselves and to the Leopard 2. Chrysler Defense actively promoted a turbine- engine model, and was selected for the development of the M1. Chrysler’s experience with so- propelled land vehicles was going back indeed to the 1. After 1. 98. 2, General Dynamics Land Systems Division purchased Chrysler Defense. Initial production was set up at the Lima Army Modification Center at Lima in 1.

Hull The hull is made of solid RHA, a single block made of massive parts welded together (bottom, front beak, glacis plate, sides, rear plate), with compartimentation. The driver is located into the front center, at the feet of the turret ring, with three periscopes (see later) and a one piece hatch which can be opened at any time in regards to the turret. The particular hull front is composed of a beak sloped downwards, which joined an almost vertical glacis plate up to the turret. The hull armour is made of RHA but the turret was made of a composite armour. There is a characteristic rear hull elevation to house the turbine engine. The sides are flat, but tooling storage is assumed by the turret’s sides and rear baskets and bins. Crew protection inside the tank comprised the halon automatic fire extinguisher system. In addition smaller hand- held fire extinguishers are also provided. The engine compartment’s one is engaged by pulling a T- handle located on the left side of the tank. Fuel and ammunition are safely stored in armored compartments with blowout panels to prevent the ammo for “cooking off” if damaged, and the main gun’s ammunition are stored in the turret rear with blast doors which opens and slides automatically when ejecting an spent round. The tank is fully NBC- proven with a special lining, a 2. SCFM clean conditioned air system, a Radiac Radiological Warning Device AN/VDR- 1 and a chemical agent detector, in addition to the crew’s protective suits and face masks.

The engine is multifuel according to NATO’s standards, accepting diesel, kerosene, motor gasoline and even high octane jet fuel like JP- 4/8. For logistical reasons, the JP- 8 is preferred by the US military. This gas turbine was proven quite reliable in practice and in combat conditions, but was soon hampered by its equally high fuel consumption, ending in a serious logistic issue. Starting the turbine alone consumed no less than 1. US gallons (3. 8 L) of fuel, and was rated for 1. US gallons (6. 3 L) for each mile or 6. US gallons (2. 30 L) per hour on flat, much more cross- country and even to 1. US gallons (3. 8 L) when idle. The use of a mine plough could increase these numbers by 2. The M1 uses around 3.

Moreover the turbine own’s high speed & temperature, equalling a jet blast from the rear prevented the infantry to follow the tank closely, an issue especially in urban combat. However it was very quiet compared to diesel engines, with less resonance when perceived from afar. For this, the M1 was nicknamed “whispering death” during its first REFORGER exercise in Germany. This power was transferred to the ground by a set of seven doubled ruberrized roadwheels (per side) suspended by torsion arms. The first pair was further apart to the front. Another pair acted as tensioners. The High- hardness- steel torsion bars were given rotary shock absorbers and provided an even smoother ride than the M6. The tracks were of the RISE standard for durability.

Before attempting any weight loss diet, talk with your physician first to be sure it's safe for your health. In the first week of a strict diet, you’ll lose water weight from two sources - - water retained throughout your body and water associated with carbs stored in muscles. The amount of weight lost from retained water varies from one person to the next. If your diet normally includes a lot of salt, you’ll probably lose more water than someone who normally follows a low- sodium diet. Muscles store carbohydrates in the form of glycogen, and every molecule of glycogen is bound to water. As you use glycogen for energy, this water is released, and you’ll lose 3 to 5 pounds of water weight. Just remember that water associated with glycogen is essential for muscles, so you will eventually regain those pounds. By comparison, water retained because of a high- salt diet or other medical condition isn’t necessary or healthy. As you return to a normal diet, you can minimize water retention by avoiding high- sodium foods, including canned products, salted snacks, smoked or processed meats, and some seasonings such as soy sauce.

An exercise plan to strengthen and build muscles is important when you're trying to lose weight, because it helps prevent muscle loss. But when the goal is to drop pounds in a short amount of time, you also need some aerobic exercise, because it burns more calories and facilitates more weight loss than strength training. If you can commit to an hour of aerobic exercise daily, you may be able to add the calories burned back into the daily diet, which helps keep you out of the dangerously low calorie range. However, keep in mind that when you're drastically cutting calories, your energy levels may be low, which makes it tough to exercise. When you have a more sensible goal of 1 to 2 pounds lost per week, you can eat more calories and support both aerobic exercise and strength training for maintaining and building your lean muscle mass. The number of calories burned during aerobics depend on your weight and how long you exercise. Thirty minutes of swimming, rowing, running, cycling, high- impact aerobics and jumping rope burns 2.

Pregnant women, people with kidney disease and anyone with osteoporosis should check with their doctor before starting a very low- carb diet. Trying to lose 1.

My body just responds well to cardio and the reason I was a couple pounds heavier than my comfortable weight when starting this was because I was running less than . I have really high goals in my head for how I want to be able to perform/look/feel at the end of this. I hope I can make it happen. Lastly, let. Well, I kind of lied about that as well. The one thing I just cannot get behind is the limited fruit. I will eat fruit when I want, it. I do try to pair it with protein, but I. Like I said, I have high expectations of this program and the last thing I want is to second guess my end results because of my diet. I am on day 4 of the detox portion of the Fat Smash Diet, thank goodness. My experience has been that the first three days of a diet are the hardest. So, I decided to really clean things up and turn that 8. There are times I want dessert and don. Real change takes real effort so I. Phase 2 might end up getting extended a week or two so I can complete it whole heartedly. These are some of the foods that have made the 9. I can only eat eggs & egg whites so many times for breakfast. I need something that tastes like dessert sometimes. Having to cook vegetables 4- 5 times a day is just insane. My nightly chocolate + tea + blogging routine had to be replaced by something. Even though I made them just 2 days ago, I know these are going to be clutch for the rest of the program as a post workout snack. Fudgy brownie guilt- free, high protein, bliss, enough said. When you look at it like that, clean eating doesn. Reading food blogs all day long doesn. Things I Learned In The First 2. Days. Disclaimer: I’m not a doctor, and I don’t play one on TV. I’m not sharing any medical advice here, only what I’ve learned and experienced myself on the 5. You can talk to your doctor to learn more. If you aren’t interested in dieting and/or losing weight with this diet, just skip this post. You read that right. Because I talked to a medical professional about what it is, how it works, and if I was a candidate for the diet. I know this diet is not for everybody. If you don’t agree with this diet I’m okay with that, but I prefer not to be judged for my decision to try it. Please keep comments positive. Feel free to ask questions. And please, if you have any tips or recipes to share, I’m all ears! What Is the 5. 00 Calorie Diet? The 5. 00 calorie diet is sometimes referred to the HCG diet. The 5. 00 calorie diet is normally done with the HCG diet, though it can be done separately. With the 5. 00 calorie diet, you restrict your caloric intake to 5. No sugar, no fats (not even good ones), no starches, no alcohol, no treats. It can be safe to do as long as you don’t do it for more than 4. So you’ll supposedly get a muscle- toned body that sheds weight at a reported average of 1 pound per day for men, and about 1/2 pound a day for women. You take the HCG daily via a pill or injectible. Some people just do just the 5. HCG with it as well. Here I’m discussing ONLY the 5. What Does the 5. 00 Calorie Diet Consist Of? As you can imagine, it’s not super fun. For breakfast you can have tea (I drink green tea which is known to help encourage weight loss) or coffee. You can have a tablespoon total of low- fat milk daily. Lunch and dinner include 1. I don’t even eat the breadstick anymore. Meats are limited to lean beef, chicken breast, veal, white fish, shrimp, crab or lobster, while vegetables are limited to spinach, cabbage, chard, tomatoes, onions, fennel, radishes, cucumbers, celery, bell peppers, mushrooms, green beans, asparagus and green salads. For your fruit, you can choose from an apple, orange, half of a grapefruit or a handful of strawberries. Tips: You aren’t supposed to have the same meat, veggies, or fruit twice a day. So if you have chicken and asparagus for lunch, don’t have it again for dinner. It’s acceptable to have your fruit separately from your meat and veggies. I usually have mine mid- morning and as a dessert after dinner. You also shouldn’t mix fruits, however you can mix veggies. So you can mix mushrooms, onions, and asparagus together, but not strawberries and apples. I will say that I have mixed berries together with no problem. If you mix and experience a weight stall or gain, don’t do it again. A lot of this is trial and error based on how your body reacts. The most important thing about the 5. Drink a TON of water. At least a gallon a day, especially during the summer. You can wake up your water with this simple recipes. I have just completed my first 2. I lost almost 1. 4 pounds and 9 inches in my chest, waist, hips, and thighs. You’ll be detoxing from sugar and junk food, and you will be miserable to be around. You’ll reconsider what you are doing. I was told Days 3- 6 are the worst, and they were. But stick with it because you’ll feel better soon, promise. Nobody told me this one! You may notice bad body odor and bad breath. It’s all of that detoxing you’re doing! I asked Jason if he could smell it, and he couldn’t. Maybe your sense of smell is heightened as well, I don’t know. But the body odor does go away. The bad breath sticks around. Chew gum, make sure it’s sugar- free gum. I have been chewing this Sugar Free Chewing Gum Sweetened with Xylitol Peppermint and really like it. It’s hard to eat only a very limited menu and not be able to eat what everybody else is eating. You may even want to become a hermit and avoid social settings where people are eating and drinking and being merry. I’ve tried to hang out (4th of July sucked – I couldn’t eat anything at our get together), and it’s really hard. You can’t cheat at all. If you cheat with sugar, fat, or starches, you’re taking 2 steps back. I prefer hot veggies over salads. The first almost 2 weeks I tried to eat a salad with meat and either balsamic vinegar or lemon squeezed on it. I got burnt out on salads quickly. So now for lunch I fry a piece of chicken or turkey burger with some veggies. It takes a bit longer, but it’s worth it. Seasonings are your friend. You need to church things up. Just make sure whatever spices and seasonings you use are sugar- free. Try veggies and meat with Bragg’s liquid aminos (it taste kind of like soy sauce), use Frank’s hot sauce and Tabasco, and use garlic and onions for flavor. Stevia and flavored liquid stevia (my favorite flavors are the Vanilla Cream and Coconut) in place of sugar. They aren’t cheap, but you only use a few drops at a time so they last forever. Sugar- free doesn’t necessarily mean sugar- free just because the label says so. Brands hide sugar under different names like maltose, maltodextrin, and sucrose to name a few. Here’s a list of the 5. Make sure you are checking label ingredients! You’ll get sick of eating plain meat with just seasonings on it, so get creative. Branch out and try new things. Jason and I LOVED these lean curry burgers that we served over spinach with a side of lemon cucumbers. The recipe calls for garam masala, and I have a recipe for it here. This clean eating un- stuffed bell peppers recipe (minus the corn and cheese) is a favorite, too. Use chicken broth in place of the coconut oil. And this berry salad (minus the chocolate chips!) is amazing as well. There are also a ton of recipe boards for this diet on Pinterest. I’ll be sharing some recipes, too. You shouldn’t exercise on this diet! I’m totally not making this up. You won’t have energy for a big workout, and if you do, you’re body will go into starvation mode trying to store all of the fat and calories it has. A short walk or light yoga is fine, but anything else is no bueno. I’ve recently fallen in love with yoga and the peace and calmness it brings with it. It’s been very helpful to me these last 2. You might stop losing, or even gain, weight. Water retention due to the heat, your monthly period, or cheating will all lead to a weight loss stall. If you have a weight loss stall for more than a few days, there’s a couple things you can do: Do an “apple day” where you only eat 6 apples from lunch one day to lunch the next. I did, and wasn’t hungry, but was sick of apples. My sister preferred a steak day. You don’t eat anything until dinner and have one very big lean steak. That’s it. We both experienced weight loss the following morning after trying both things. Okay, you might occasionally get hungry, but for the most part you’ll be satisfied. I was much more hungry during the days before I started this diet when all I did was eat crap all the time. When you do experience hunger pangs, drink more water. Eat a zero calorie food (like celery). Do something to take your mind off of it. And I think this goes without saying: you will need support. Find a friend who’s also dieting or join a group on Facebook. I was lucky enough to have my sister doing it with me for the first 2. Since I’m doing another 2. I still have her because she’s done it twice and knows how difficult it is. Jason has been a huge support, too. He’s been eating with me, though he’s not necessarily following the diet. And my family and friends have been my cheerleaders. But I also know it works. My sister did this diet back in January and lost close to 2. She also did it with me again over the last 2. I can tell you I’m sleeping better, my allergies aren’t as bad, I feel better overall, my blood pressure is normal (I had high blood pressure), I’m not as moody, and I’m not craving crap. My depression, which is normally at its worst during this time of year, is nowhere to be found. I couldn’t be happier!
