The Corps’ armor makes a big showing in Norway as Marines test future force
By: Shawn Snow   

The Corps’ armored vehicles are making a big showing in Norway as two simultaneous exercises kick off: NATO’s Trident Juncture and a bilateral exercise with Norwegian forces known as Exercise Northern Screen.

Embarked with the II Marine Expeditionary Force for Trident Juncture is a new modernized version of the anti-tank Light Armored Vehicle, or LAV-AT. Its participation in the NATO exercise will be the vehicle’s first European debut since the Corps kicked off a modernization effort for the aging LAV, according to Marine spokeswoman Capt. Karoline Foote.

The new tank-wrecking LAV-AT is equipped with an automated turret system that fires TOW missiles.
