Therefore, the US Marines are not as well armed as some of their counterparts in the area of amphibious AFV's. They have good stuff that are great multi-roled all terrain vehicles though.

[edit] Just picked up what you said about the new Amtrack, so that isnt the big slow oathish thing of days gone past? Got any lniks, cant find the vehicle using 'EFV-1' to search
