Concord 7517 - Marines On The Ground - Operation Iraqi....pdf

48 pages, 142 color photos, 5 profile plates, 1/35 scale plan The USA has been embroiled in the ongoing insurgency in Iraq since Operation Iraqi Freedom kicked off on 23 March 2003. "Marines on the Ground: Operation Iraqi Freedom 1" covered the important role played by the United States Marine Corps (USMC) in the initial invasion. The second volume in this two-part series has now been released, and it carries on the story of I MEF's return to Iraq in March 2004 through to the end of March 2005 when responsibility was handed over to II MEF. As in the earlier volume, this book utilizes official photos taken by USMC photographers. This ensures a wide variety of photos covering different locations, units and vehicles are included. Operation Al Fajr, the violent Battle of Fallujah, is extremely well covered in a detailed chapter that offers a day-by-day action of the fighting. Understanding of this operation is boosted by a personal battle account from Andreas Elesky , MSgt USMC (Ret.), who participated in the fighting before being wounded in action. Other chapters cover such events as the Najaf Crisis and Iraq's first free national elections. Vehicles much in evidence in this photographic record include Humvees, MTVRs, LAVs, AAVs, and M1A1 Abrams tanks. The book contains four color plates by Hubert Cance, two profile line drawings, along with one 1/35 scale plans. This is a concise record of major actions that U.S. Marines were involved in during this period, and readers wanting to learn more about the Battle of Falljah, or simply looking for a collection of Marine photos, will find much of interest here.

Concord 7518 - Iraq Insurgency U.S. Army Armored Vehic....pdf

56 pages, 159 color photos, 4 color plates, 2 1/35 scale plans Since the 2003 American-led invasion to liberate the people of Iraq from the tyranny of Saddam Hussein, the U.S. military has been embroiled in a dangerous counter-insurgency operation against insurgents. This book examines the wide range of U.S. Army vehicles at the forefront of this counter-insurgency, many of them modified or introduced specifically as a result of this ongoing conflict in Iraq. This volume is the first in a two-part series. It takes a look at particular vehicle types section by section - namely the M2 Bradley IFV and M3 Bradley CFV, M113 family, ASK and HArD kits for Humvees, M1117 Guardian, RG-31 Medium Mine Protected Vehicle, Buffalo Mine Protected Clearance Vehicle, Meerkat MDV and Husky T/MDV, Rhino Runner Bus, Shadow 200 UAV, and D7G and D9R Bulldozers. This is quite a varied list of vehicles, and some will be unfamiliar to many readers. The book is bursting with background information and technical data, as well as how vehicles are being employed by the U.S. Army in Iraq. The text also highlights the special modifications made to vehicles in-theatre. An example of this is the Add-on Armor Suite (closely resembling the slat armor found on Strykers) fitted to the M113. The book contains four color plates by Laurent Lecocq, as well as two 1/35 scale plans. This book is insightful, and gives a very up-to-date study of current U.S. Army vehicles in Iraq. Photos are of a high quality, and mostly show vehicles in action with their crews. In terms of depth and variety of coverage, this book is simply unbeatable!

52 pages, 148 color photos, 4 color plates, 1/35 scale plans The Warrior's development history dates back to 1967 when a proposal for the new armored personnel carrier’s requirement for the British Army was made. The FV510 series of Infantry Section Vehicles was developed to replace the aging FV432 series. The production of the Warrior began in January 1986 and the first production batch was formally handed over to the British Army in May 1987. The original British Army requirement was for 1053 Warriors, but as a result of the 1993 “Options of Change”, the number of Warriors was reduced to 788, breaks down into FV510 Infantry Section Vehicles, FV511 Infantry Command Vehicles, FV512 Mechanized Combat Repair Vehicles, FV513 Mechanized Recovery Vehicles, FV514 Mechanzied Artillery Observation Vehicles and FV515 Battery Command Vehicles. The author Carl Schulze brought us remarkable photo images of the different Warrior variants in action. Taken mainly in Germany and former Yugoslavia over the past 10 years, the images focused on the details differentiating the variants, camouflage and markings, and close-ups including interior shots.

Concord 7505 - Challenger 1&2.pdf

48 pages, 141 color photos, 4 color plates, 1/35 scale line drawings The British Royal Armoured Corps (RAC) was formed more than 60 years ago. The units of the RAC made their contribution to the end of the Cold War by fighting in the Gulf War, keeping peace in Bosnia and Kosovo, and supporting civil authority at home in Northern Ireland. The RAC, which provides the tank force to the British Army, is today composed of eight Challenger 1 and 2 regiments. When the British Army needed a replacement for the Chieftain tank fleet, it chose the ill-fated Shir Iran 2 MBT which was developed for Iran. Modifications were made and the new improved version was named Challenger. The first Challenger 1s were delivered to the British Army in 1983. The Challenger 1 is armed with the L11A5 120mm rifled gun, weighted 62 tons, and has a crew of four. During the Gulf War, Challenger tanks destroyed 300 enemy main battle tanks and an unknown number of armored vehicles. Further modifications to the Challenger resulted in the Challenger 2 which has up to date armor, mobility, firepower, and fire control technology. The main weapon is the easy to handle 120mm L30 Charm Gun. The first Challenger 2s were delivered to the RAC in 1998 and a total of 386 Challenger 2s will equip the British Army by the year 2002.
