Arsenal: M104 Wolverine Bridgelayer in Armored Gap-Crossing, Iraq War Era
Arsenal: M104 Wolverine Bridgelayer in Armored Gap-Crossing, Iraq War Era follows the Abrams-based heavy assault bridge from dusty training ranges to real crossings around Baghdad, where canals, blown overpasses, and anti-tank ditches test its promise to keep armored columns moving. Listeners hear the Wolverine in action under time pressure, the late Cold War problem it was built to solve, how its Leguan bridge, launch systems, and two-person crew actually work, and how it performed in Iraq before passing the torch to the Joint Assault Bridge. Arsenal is the Friday feature of Dispatch: U.S. Military History Magazine, and this podcast is developed by Trackpads.com.
