I do not know if this has been previously posted somewhere here in the AS forums; my apologies if it has. If not, here you go. Either way, interesting info.

Very cool, thank you for posting!
Building on LTC Lutz's story of the development of the A2, attached is a 1986 Army analysis discussing the differences between USMC and Army requirements for a rifle, and assessing how/if the A2 satisfied those requirements. The doctrinal and technical analysis is really interesting.
Thanks for sharing. Interesting!

That was mildly embarrassing to read as someone of an Army background. Supposedly the Army has been trying to snap out of the "marksmanship doesn't really matter" malaise it has been in for fifty or more years, but I'll believe it when I see it.
