	An Eclectic Overview of Selected Marine Corps Programs
		The Advanced Amphibious Assault Vehicle is an armored, tracked, amphibious combat vehicle designed to carry a reinforced rifle squad of 17 combat-equipped Marines and a crew of three.
		The AAAV, the MV-22 Osprey, and the LCAC are the three legs of the amphibious assault triad that will provide true expeditionary maneuver warfare capability for the nation's naval expeditionary forces of the future.
		Built by General Dynamics Amphibious Systems of Woodbridge, Va., the AAAV will replace the current AAV7A1 family of amphibious assault vehicles--which were fielded in the early 1970s--with a fully modern system designed to meet the mission needs of the Marine Corps during the 20072030 time frame.

	[No title]
		The AAAV is envisioned by USMC leaders as the third and newest element in an "amphibious triad" that will greatly enhance the speed, range, maneuverability, firepower and survivability of forces moving from ship to shore, and then into the enemy interior.
		The objective of the AAAV program is to make this mission possible by transforming the ocean from an obstacle into a medium of maneuver, not unlike the way U.S. armored forces turned vast expanses of empty desert to their advantage during Operation Desert Storm.
		The AAAV is expected to fully replace its predecessor in the force by 2011, and remain the principal USMC amphibious assault vehicle until 2030.

		The vehicle was sent to Quantico where it was fully restored by the museum staff in 1985 and placed on exhibit in the Air-Ground Museum.
		Although this combination vehicle, which will provide offensive firepower, armor, and Nuclear, Biological and Chemical collective protection, is much more technologically advanced than its Alligator predecessor, the early 1930s machine was a critical building block in the development of the amphibious vehicles the Corps uses today.
		Subsequently, as better-designed models were introduced, a family of amphibious tracked vehicles, "amtracs," were employed in World War II against the Japanese in the Pacific Islands and by the U.S. Army and British in the fight against Hitler in Europe.

		Advanced Armored Personnel Carrier - FMC-NUROL Defense Industries, Inc. (FNSS) is a joint venture between the United States based United Defense, L.P.

	The AAAV Fails
		The Marine Corps has a stated goal of lightening its logistical "footprint" due to a lack of amphibious ships, and since fuel accounts for half the logistical tonnage for a Marine force, the AAAV is a leap in the wrong direction.
		The other AAAV selling points are simply not true; it is not faster on land, it does not have greater armor protection, and it is not "essential for future amphibious operations" since the current amtrack has the range to come from ships "over the horizon".
		Armored vehicles are also easily blocked in mountainous areas, except for amtracks which can cruise up rivers or along the coast to bypass obstacles.

		The AAAV is one of three vehicles–along with the Marines’ V-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft and the Navy’s air-cushioned landing craft (LCAC)–that the Corps is counting on to enhance its ability to sweep in from the sea, assault an enemy shoreline and overwhelm entrenched hostile forces.
		The AAAV is the most recent in a series of amphibious tractors–or amtracs–that began in the 1930s, as the Marines prepared for their island-hopping campaigns against the Japanese in World War II.
		The AAAV is being developed jointly by the Marines and General Dynamics Land Systems, based in Sterling Heights, Mich. General Dynamics in 1996 won a $200 million competition to design, build and test three prototype AAAVs by fiscal year 2001.

		The AAAV—or advanced amphibious assault vehicle—was conceived in the late 1980s as a high-mobility platform that would move forces rapidly from a ship to the surface 25 miles from the shoreline, so they could rapidly advance into the objective area.
		Nans observed that amphibious assault is a misnomer.
		Among the critics of the AAAV is Carlton Meyer, a retired Marine Corps officer.

	Advanced Amphibious Assault Vehicle (AAAV)
		Transporting 17 combat-equipped Marines, or 5,000 pounds of cargo, the AAAV will allow Marines to maneuver ashore from over the horizon in a single seamless stroke, penetrate to objectives far inland, and return to the seabase when a mission is accomplished.
		Navy amphibious ships must carry with them the means, tactical lift, to maneuver ground combat elements ashore and against their objectives.
		However, expeditionary maneuver warfare in the 21st century will emphasize amphibious assaults that begin over the horizon from an enemy-held coastline and proceed directly to their operational objectives ashore, without stopping to seize and defend a beachhead or landing zone.

		Although the survivability requirements for tactical wheeled vehicles are less stringent than for armored vehicles, the requirement for off-road tactical mobility, reliability, and ease of maintenance remain fundamental in their design.
		The FCS is intended to combine the survivability and lethality of heavy combat vehicles with the mobility and deployability of light combat vehicles.

		The vehicle is supposed to provide "99%" protection to its crew and passengers from mines, though these mines are probably just the kind designed to immobilize a vehicle by breaking a track or a road-wheel.
		In LWS the vehicle is mostly submerged and is propelled by its tracks (or water jets, as in the case of the AAV-7).
		OMFTS is really a marriage of the "vertical assault" doctrine developed by the Hogaboom Board in the late 1950s and the idea of multiple thrust penetration infiltration tactics in a ship to objective maneuver that bypasses (or reduces) the normal buildup on the beach.
