Amphibious Assault Vehicle (AAV)

An Amphibious Assault Vehicle (AAV) is a military transport designed to move troops and equipment from ship to shore and inland during amphibious operations. It can operate both on water and land, featuring a hull that allows it to float and mobility systems for road travel. AAVs are armored for protection and equipped with weapons for defense and support. They enable rapid deployment of forces in coastal or riverine environments, combining amphibious mobility with battlefield resilience. Used primarily by Marines, they facilitate quick, protected movement from sea to land, ensuring strategic flexibility during amphibious assaults.
