*Sebastien Roblin* *Bradley Fighting Vehicle, Americas* Can the plan actually work? *Here's What You Need to Know*: The Army’s biggest and baddest troop carrier might get even bigger. *(This article first appeared in 2018.)* The M2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicle is nominally used to carry infantry into battle, but is frequently misidentified by journalists as a tank.
