Actual capacity of a size 3 vehicle is 15 men.	Minus
whatever room you use for weapons et al.  But my
comment is from having been inside an M-577 and an
M-1068 both.  

They get really crowded if you get more than a couple
guys in there moving around at the same time. Put up
mapboards etc?	

You can pack infantry privates like sardines if all
you expect them to do is ride quietly until it's time
to get out and earn their paychecks.  You can't stuff
majors and captains in like that, along with a couple
cubic feet of computer, and then expect them to fight
a battalion!
