EP 68: FMS to Lithuania (HIMARS) + Lockheed Martin Contracted to Replenish US Army HIMARS & Munitions Stockpile + 5th Project Convergence Story (UK & AUS) + Canada's Carl Gs to have Thermal Sights + 57 Yrs Ago - Battle of Ia Drang Valley (7th US Cavalry)

Enjoyed this episode.  We talked a bit about HIMARS and the M3/M4 Carl Gustaf. Plus we did our 5th (I think) Project Convergence story.  This involved modernization efforts from the UK & Australia. And finally- we talked about the 57th anniversary of the Battle of Ia Drang Valley.  From 14-16 November 1965, elements from the 1st & 2d Battalions of the 7th Cavalry Regiment (Garry Owen), 1st Cavalry Division (Air Mobile)- fought valiantly and outnumbered against a tough and determined foe - units from the Peoples Army of Vietnam (PAVN).
