The Marine Corps should retain the Assault Amphibian Vehicle Personnel variant (AAVP7) in order to fulfill missions the Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle (EFV) is not designed to accomplish. Roebling originally designed the grandfather of the AAV, the Alligator for use as a personnel transport and rescue vehicle in Floridian swampland during floods. Dubbed the Landing Vehicle Tracked (LVT), the USMC purchased this vehicle to transport both Marines and cargo from ship, across reefs, to the shore and back for subsequent landing waves. The LVT was used extensively in WWII against the Japanese during the Island Hopping Campaign. The Marine Corps originally intended the LVT to function solely as a logistic vehicle but was soon fitted with weapons and increased armor for use in assaults against Japanese-held beaches once it had realized its full potential. From its inception the family of LVTs has changed very little in its role until the fielding of the EFV. The EFV, unlike its ancestors, is an entirely new vehicle with both new capabilities and a new role.
