The AAV: The U.S. Marines’ Amphibious Beast

For decades, the Amphibious Assault Vehicle (AAV) has been a cornerstone of the U.S. Marine Corps, transporting troops and cargo from ship to shore. With its 29-ton combat weight, armored protection, and amphibious capabilities, this vehicle has played a crucial role in military operations. But as modern threats evolve, the AAV is being replaced by the advanced Amphibious Combat Vehicle (ACV). Is this the end of an era for one of the most iconic landing craft in U.S. military history?

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
