The MTTCS was designed to augment the light infantry divisions with additional mobile and fixed protection along with becoming a combat multiplier. It is designed to be broken down into smaller usable interlocking sections for facilities or use smaller sections for 2 man protection as well.
The system can be used to store the "go to war" equipment" all the way up to full scale operations to include MOUT TOC operations, facilities or fortifications support.
Many "sea boxes" were used in OIF/OEF for fixed defensive positions thus costing literally hundreds of millions in rental leasing costs in the first year alone.
MTTCS when placed on the back of the medium tactical vehicles allows for full 360 degree firing capablity to any truck along with multiple egress ports as well.
Many have believed that this was to be suggested to be a replacement vehicle, it is an augmentation to the existing fleet of trucks.
Rear area protection, modular medical and C4ISR integration capablity is also an intended use of the armored module.
Later variants will include PLS on and off loading capablity.
Combat and Combat Service Support (CS&CSS)units are in the present fight, they must retain the ablity to be flexible and support light forces once they have delivered either supplies or troops.
MTTCS is the solution to address those issues, it is not to be considered as a replacement for any mechanized armored vehicle.

The MX article was interesting and about as fair as you can expect from the NYT. It did seem to imply that all of the US's eggs were in the MX basket without mentioning out other ICBM's and especially the SLBM's. You think it would kill the writer the at least acknowledge that Reagan's strategy had merit.
By the way, good luck keeping that Fishbed up and running.

Sorry for intruding here. I just wanted to invite you and your readers to come check out Orato, which aims to be the first content site exclusively devoted to first-person journalism. That is, stories which are told entirely in the first-person voices of eyewitnesses to major events such as the London Subway bombings and day-to-day life in the streets of Baghdad. We’ll also feature the rants and soliloquies of interesting people in the news.
I don’t want to let the cat out of the bag, but we’re putting together some really great stories on a range of topics: Current Events, Entertainment, Sports, Health and Science, Travel and Adventure, Bad Media (where we watch the watchdog) Love and Friendship, Business and Technology, the ever-mysterious Mystery heading, and something creatively called ‘Miscellaneous’ for when we can’t think of anywhere else to put it.
Check the Contributor's Registry which is already online; it’s Orato’s call to journalists and enthusiastic writers from around the world to get involved. Orato will combine the work of professional journalists and “citizen journalists”: people from 122 countries have already registered and sent us story ideas.
We’ll commission and pay for feature stories in the first-person voice, but we will make it possible for anyone, for a small fee, to publish their own stories on the site. And we’ll regularly evaluate pay-to-publish stories that are highly rate by readers, moving the best into the feature window and paying their authors the same rates we pay commissioned authors. We’re hoping to foster ethical practices and quality reporting in this new medium, and above all, create a forum for great storytelling.
In the registry, we have included sample stories to demonstrate what we mean by first-person news, so please, take a minute to look at the samples, register, and send us your story ideas. And please, feel free to contact us if you have questions
