The Assault Amphibious Vehicle (AAV)—official designation AAVP-7A1 (formerly known as 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”.

More info:

The Assault Amphibious Vehicle (AAV) is a military vehicle designed to transport troops and equipment from ships to shore and inland. The AAV can operate on land and in water, and has a fully tracked chassis that allows it to traverse rough terrain. The AAV has a crew of three and can carry up to 21 passengers in its troop compartment. The AAV is armed with a 40 mm grenade launcher and a 12.7 mm machine gun for self-defense and fire support. 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.
