New Army "Caliber Configuration Study"

[Michael]

the CCS, together with the CLAWS and LDAM programs, seems clearly aimed at a replacement not only for 7.62 NATO, but also the smaller NATO round.

I wouldn't count on this being true...it could very well be a GOBI (General Officer Bright Idea). These GOBIs will occasionally gain traction and seem to be more important/game changing than they really are.
