“Buy more LCAC’s instead”

LCACs are awesome! Up to the beach that is. And inland too!! (anywhere you could navigate a 2500 Sq. ft. suburban home, floating 3 feet above the road.)

An AAV isn’t an LCAC,,, And an LCAC can’t do what an AAV can. That is why you need both.

Just turn the tables, and let the Marines run the Navy for the next 60+ years.

Too, I think tracks are better than treads.

Typo? Or were you thinking of wheels vs. tracks?

(not a cheap shot, just seeking clarification)

Wheels, of course.

Although I’d note that the LAV rides much better than you’d expect. I spent a few hours doing turret power analysis in one and was surprised.

‘course I didn’t have to worry about anything coming through the walls...
