Marine Personnel Carrier (MPC)

Abstract

The Marine Personnel Carrier (MPC) satisfies the medium lift capability of the Amphibious Combat Vehicle (ACV)/Joint Light Tacticle Vehicle (JLTV)/MPC triad. The MPC supports expeditionary maneuver warfare of the Ground Combat Element (GCE) and enhances Marine Operating Forces tactical and operational mobility on a platform that is highly mobile on land while maneuvering with all USMC wheeled and tracked combat, and tactical vehicles. MPC provides armored protection and lethality to protect the vehicle and support dismounted infantry in the attack, while providing payload to carry the infantry's combat loads, mission-essential equipment, and up to two days of supply.
