Den Overfald amfibiekøretøj (AAV) — officiel betegnelse AAVP-7A1 (tidligere kendt som Landing Vehicle, Tracked, Personnel-7 abbr. LVTP-7)—is a fully tracked amphibious landing vehicle manufactured by U.S. Combat Systems (previously by United Defense, a former division of FMC Corporation). The AAV-P7/A1 is the current amphibious troop transport of the United States Marine Corps. It is used by U.S. Marine Corps Assault Amphibian Battalions to land the surface assault elements of the landing force and their equipment in a single lift from assault shipping during amphibious operations to inland objectives and to conduct mechanized operations and related combat support in subsequent mechanized operations ashore. It is also operated by other forces. Marines call them “amtracs”, a shortening of their original designation, “amphibious tractor”.

Den Overfald amfibiekøretøj (AAV) er et militært køretøj designet til at transportere tropper og udstyr fra skibe til land og inde i landet. AAV'en kan fungere på land og i vand og har et fuldt bæltechassis, der gør det muligt at krydse ujævnt terræn. AAV har en besætning på tre og kan transportere op til 21 passagerer i tropperummet. AAV er bevæbnet med en 40 mm granatkaster og et 12,7 mm maskingevær til selvforsvar og ildstøtte.
The AAV is also equipped with smoke grenade launchers, night vision devices, and a global positioning system. The AAV has been in service with the United States Marine Corps since 1972, and has been used in various conflicts and operations around the world. The AAV is currently being replaced by the Amphibious Combat Vehicle (ACV), which offers improved mobility, protection, and survivability.
