The Marine Corps is making a major cut in the number of bombproof vehicles it is buying, a surprise move that underscores how much safer Iraq has become in recent months and the Corps’ own changing assessment of the vehicles’ limitations.
On Thursday, Commandant Gen. James Conway, the Corps’ top officer, submitted to a Pentagon procurement body his recommendation to cut by almost 40 percent the number of Mine Resistant, Ambush Protected vehicles he will buy, from 3,700 MRAPs to about 2,225.
The decision is bound to be controversial – and to spur debate in Washington about why the United States is spending billions to buy thousands of the mammoth vehicles even as security in Iraq is looking much improved from a year ago, when the American public and Congress first rallied behind the life-saving program.
Conway’s move is not likely to affect the Army’s purchase of the vehicles, at least for now, defense officials say. But it could raise questions about the kinds of MRAPs the Pentagon is buying and have reverberations within the industry that’s been building the trucks at a furious pace.

When Schiedel Rite Vent was planning a new finished goods and raw materials warehouse at its factory it specified double deep racking served by a new Atlet lift truck to maximise storage capacity. The new warehouse complements existing facilities, which use a combination of double deep and conventional racking, and Schiedel Rite Vent estimates that it can store around 50 per cent more items in the same space. In addition to supplying a new double-deep reach stacker for the warehouse, Atlet also refurbished a number of Schiedel Rite Vent’s existing trucks to bring the entire fleet up to the best possible standard.
“We chose Atlet again because they provide good service and a quality product,” says Paul Mansfield, Warehouse Manager at Schiedel Rite Vent. “The new truck is excellent and the ones that have been refurbished look like new.”
Scheidel Rite Vent, part of the multinational LaFarge group, is one of Europe’s leading manufacturers of commercial chimneys. At its factory in Washington, Tyne and Wear, the company produces steel chimneys although the warehouse is also responsible for distributing accessories and concrete products made elsewhere.
