National Guard Receives Bradley Upgrades
Army National Guard units have begun receiving modernized M2A4 Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicles as part of the service’s equipment upgrade initiative.
The first vehicles arrived at National Guard armories in Pennsylvania and Texas. Crews will complete new equipment training before certifying on the upgraded systems.
Enhanced Features
The M2A4 variant includes improved thermal sights and upgraded engines. These changes ensure Guard units maintain combat readiness standards equivalent to active duty formations.
Equipment Parity
This fielding addresses longtime gaps between active and reserve component capabilities. National Guard leaders emphasized the importance of equipping soldiers with modern systems.
