U.S. AAV Assault Amphibious Vehicle

The American AAV family provided the Marine Corps with a tracked vehicle able to carry troops from ships through water and then operate ashore. Developed from the earlier LVTP line, the AAV7 combined amphibious propulsion, a troop compartment, and weapons for support and protection. It served for decades with American and foreign forces, including Argentina. Its role differs from both a landing craft that remains principally a boat and a purpose-built main battle tank. Command and recovery vehicles supported the troop carriers, while successive improvements changed protection, automotive equipment, and other systems during the family’s decades of service. The family included command and recovery variants in addition to troop-carrying assault vehicles.
