The AAV carries up to 25 Marines and can reach speeds of 8 MPH in the water, and up to 45 MPH on land. The primary mission is delivery of troops and supplies during amphibious assault operations. The AAV's disembark directly from Navy ships fully loaded and drive ashore in the first wave of a beach assault.
Designed to replace the LVT-5, the AAV-7 was introduced in 1972 as the LVT-7. A decade after its appearance, the LVT-7 was given an improved engine, weapons system and transmission and was renamed AAV-7A1. Armed with an M2HB .50 caliber machine gun and capable of transporting 25 combat-equipped troops, this Amphibious Assault Vehicle is used by the United States Marine Corps for landing amphibious operations. Its long service history has included the Falkland Island invasion, the Persian Gulf War and the second Iraq War, though it has recently been criticized for failing to protect troops as well as newer vehicles such as the M2 Bradley. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
