The first East Coast-bound amphibious combat vehicles are expected to arrive at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, sometime in spring 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So far, Olree said, Marine amphibious combat vehicle drivers and crews have reported the vehicles have a sensitive suspension system that needs careful and regular maintenance. In light of that, the Marine Corps is now calling for one of the maintenance training systems it\u2019s buying, the Part Task Install\/Remove Trainer, to include a suspension system mock-up so maintainers don\u2019t have to tear a full operational vehicle apart to practice on the component.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Marines face a learning curve, Olree said, in transitioning from the tracked amphibious assault vehicle to the eight-wheeled amphibious combat vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThey\u2019re used to a tracked vehicle, where you can just pivot-steer,\u201d Olree said. \u201cA wheeled vehicle can\u2019t do that; you have to do a little bit of a larger turn. If you try to make a really tight turn, it puts a lot of stress on the suspension system \u2026 It\u2019s just learning how the vehicle works for Marines.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The longevity of the amphibious assault vehicle, which first entered service in 1972, means generations of Marines are familiar with its handling and consider it the standard. This, Olree indicated, can create frustration in the fleet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMarines need to learn how this vehicle operates. It\u2019s not better or worse than the AAV; it\u2019s just different than the AAV,\u201d Olree said. \u201cAnytime it doesn\u2019t operate like an AAV, they seem to think something\u2019s wrong, right? That\u2019s not necessarily the case.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Marine Corps is learning the limitations of the amphibious combat vehicle in other ways, too:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-marine-corps\/2022\/07\/27\/marines-resume-amphibious-combat-vehicle-operations-in-protected-waters-only\/\"> this summer, the service issued a two-month pause<\/a> to all vehicle water operations after two amphibious combat vehicle tipped over and became disabled in high surf off the California coast in July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Corps cleared amphibious combat vehicles for full service in September after setting a new high-surf limit of four feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to the Part Task Install\/Remove Trainer, which will include eight or nine mock-up amphibious combat vehicle parts to practice maintenance on, the Marines want two additional training tools: an augmented-reality classroom simulation environment, which would put trainees inside the vehicle with the help of 3D goggles and haptic gloves and other components, and a touch-screen procedural troubleshooter trainer, which would allow Marines to walk through the process of isolating and diagnosing issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the mock-up parts and VR training environment would be designated for the schoolhouse, screen-based troubleshooters also would be sent to Camp Pendleton, California, and Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, to assist maintainers at operational units, Orlee said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Olree said he was pleased to hear some companies say they\u2019ve already designed virtual environments similar to what the Marine Corps is seeking, and were optimistic about the timeline for fielding an ACV-specific trainer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s gaming technology that\u2019s kind of driving that,\u201d Olree said. \u201cThat\u2019s the backbone that they\u2019re using to create a virtual environment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While none of these high-tech training tools existed for Marines learning to maintain the amphibious assault vehicle, they are rapidly becoming industry standard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2020, the Army contracted with an industry team led by AVT Simulation to develop a hands-on maintenance trainer for the joint light tactical vehicle that married the vehicle body with high-tech training tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Marine Corps Systems Command plans to send out a draft request for proposal on the three trainers it wants, with fielding of the actual training components beginning in 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>126 amphibious combat vehicles have been sent to the fleet, all on the West
