Marine Corps Assault Vehicles

Abstract

This Program Element (PE) includes funds for the Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle (EFV) Program which will field a successor to the Marine Corps' current amphibious vehicle, the Assault Amphibious Vehicle Model 7A1 (AAV7A1). The EFV will provide the principal means of tactical surface mobility for the Marine Air Group Task Force (MAGTF) during both ship-to-objective maneuvers and sustained combat operations ashore. The EFV will provide the Marine Corps with the capability to execute the full spectrum of military missions from humanitarian operations to conventional combat operations. The EFV replaces the AAV7A1 Vehicle, which was originally fielded in the early 1970s. The EFV is a self-deploying, high-water speed, amphibious, armored, tracked vehicle capable of operating in all weather as well as Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical (NBC) environments.
