U.S. Marines Assault Amphibious Vehicle - Well Deck Landing

Описание: Marines with Company B, 3rd Assault Amphibian Battalion, and Company A, 1st Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment board the USS Rushmore off the coast of southern California via assault amphibious vehicles during exercise Steel Knight 2015.

The Assault Amphibious Vehicle (AAV), official designation AAV-P7/A1, is the current amphibious troop transport of the United States Marine Corps. It is used by U.S. Marine Corps Assault Amphibian Battalions to land the surface assault elements of the landing force and their equipment in a single lift from assault shipping during amphibious operations to inland objectives and to conduct mechanized operations and related combat support in subsequent mechanized operations ashore. It is also operated by other forces. Marines call them "Amtracks," a shortening of their original designation, "amphibious tractor." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assault_...
