Didn't the Bradley already replace the M113 back in the '80s?

It did in many roles. But, the M113 is still in service and serves many roles that the Bradleys do not (e.g., battlefield ambulance, engineer vehicle, command vehicle). The AMPV is supposed to send the M113 to retirement for good...if they are able to buy enough of them.
