About the M2/M3 Bradley Fighting Vehicle:  The M2 Bradley IFV (Infantry Fighting Vehicle) and M3 Bradley CFV (Cavalry Fighting Vehicle) are American infantry fighting vehicles manufactured by BAE Systems Land and Armaments, (formerly United Defense, originally FMC). The mission of the Bradley on the battlefield is to transport infantry, to provide fire cover to dismounted troops and to suppress enemy tanks and armored fighting vehicles.    The M2 holds a crew of three: a commander, a gunner, and a driver; as well as six fully equipped soldiers.  The M3 mainly conducts scout missions and carries a crew of three and two scouts. During the Gulf War, M2 and M3 Bradleys destroyed more Iraqi armored vehicles than the M1 Abrams.  20 Bradleys were lost; 3 by enemy fire and 17 due to friendly fire incidents; another 12 were damaged.  To remedy some problems that were identified as contributing factors in the friendly fire incidents, infrared identification panels and other marking/identification measures were added to the Bradleys.    In the Second Gulf War, the Bradley has proved somewhat vulnerable to mobility kills (attacks that do not necessarily destroy the vehicle completely, but render it inoperable or immobile, such as track or engine malfunctions) through IED and RPG attacks, but casualties have been light—the doctrine being to allow the crew to escape at the expense of the vehicle.  As of early 2006, total combat losses included 55 Bradleys.
