With new interim guidance, the Marine Corps\u2019 amphibious combat vehicles are set to return to waterborne operations on the open ocean after a two-month pause, officials announced Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Corps paused all waterborne ACV operations in July following a high surf incident<\/a> at Camp Pendleton, California, in which one vehicle rolled over and one was disabled. The Corps said that no Marines were injured in the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The service quickly launched an internal review of the procedures surrounding the ACVs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the incident, the Corps reauthorized ACV training on waters protected from the surf, like Pendleton\u2019s Del Mar Boat Basin, but not out on the open ocean.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
