  • Marines serving with Alpha Company, 1st Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion, team up with Assault Craft Unit 5, a Navy unit based out of Camp Pendleton, CA, to make an amphibious landing. The Marines learned how to tie down their light armored vehicles onto ACU-5's landing craft air cushion, a hovercraft class vehicle, in process known as "griping." Marines loaded their company of LAVs onto the LACs in the predawn hours and landed on Camp Pendleton's Red Beach at sunrise. Produced by Lance Cpl. Corey Dabney.

    Thank you for your service, gentlemen. Marines have been in more engagements than the majority of the U.S. military's branches, including the Army, Air Force and Coast Guard, and have been in just as many as the Navy. *Oorah*.

      The Amerijuanican That’s blatantly false. The Army sees far more combat and undergoes significantly more engagements than the USMC. That’s just a matter of numbers, as the Army has about 1.1 million personnel and are the main ground force of the US.

    Not going to lie I really liked the design but I'm not sure it would be the most accurate because it takes a while to deflate and while it's deflating you're getting shot at

      Sorry, incorrect, in Russia , 3 times bigger , Name: Zubr Mit einer Länge von 57 Metern ist das Projekt 12322 Zubr das größte Luftkissenfahrzeug der Welt. Es kann nicht nur eine Kompanie Marinesoldaten an die Küste eines Gegners bringen, sondern auch Truppen mit seinem 140-mm-Mehrfachraketenwerfersystem Ogon und dem Nahbereichsabwehr-Flugabwehrsystem AK-630 unterstützen.

    I don't understand that the successor of the LCAC, the SSC, has not been designed with the ability to unload the LAV-25s and AAV-7s from the sea. LCACs/SSCs are very vulnerable vehicles and the area around the beach has to be completely secured before they can be used.
    With the ability of unloading the AAVs in the water, the SSCs could be used for the first wave of assault, and their speed would be used to bring a lot of amphibious armor quickly to the beach.

      I have no idea where you heard the SSC couldn't unload the LAV-25 from the sea. They specifically can do that.

      anfernee jones no the LAV-25 was about the same speed of the AAV-7 its just the SLEP (service life extension project) is getting rid of the Propellers for some reason that is beyond me?

    • @Redfox161616
      @Redfox161616 9 років тому

      anfernee jones Because its cheaper maintenance wise before the LAV's were sent out before Amtrac's to do the scouting and raiding now I have no f*cking clue what there use is? Personally I would think Marines would want as much of there equipment to be Amphibious as possible.

    What a yawn fest. What are the modern US Marines expecting, no opposition and then take all day to unload a couple of vehicles with little red flags and portaloos. Seems really surreal to me. I assume they train for actual combat?
