Improved to Good Article status by Schierbecker ( talk). Self-nominated at 04:47, 14 July 2022 (UTC).
According to The USA Historical AFV Register (unreliable source ofc), there is a Close Combat Vehicle Light outside the National Museum of Military Vehicles. This was the same one that was displayed by the Military Vehicle Technology Foundation ( Jacques Littlefield's collection) and sold at auction. There isn't so much as a placard on the display. NMMV does not mention the CCVL on their site, so this is impossible to verify. Schierbecker ( talk) 07:35, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
Responding to your query at MilHist. I am struggling to to find time to work on my own articles, so won't be able to give a proper review. But, based on a skim and a more detailed look at a couple of sections it seems a long way off. I would suggest putting it through GoCER, then PR, and then coming back at MilHist.
A few of the things which jumped out:
This is from a skim and is very non-exhaustive. I am sure this is not what you were hoping for, but it seemed better to lay how I saw the article out here that in an actual FAC. Gog the Mild ( talk) 12:35, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
Comment This is the sort of thing that you can expect at FAC, which is a gauntlet. Suggest reading the series on The long road of a featured article candidate. Keep your cool, respond to comments firmly but politely. I am willing to co-nominate if you think it would help. Or you can consider Peer review.
