Some of conditions encountered in off-road mobility are examined and inherent abilities of air cushion vehicle to enhance mobility in these conditions are outlined; marked degree of improvement in operating efficiency has been attained through development of seals, control power, propulsion, and overall refinement; configurations for civilian and military tasks have been built and operated effectively; analysis of amphibious landing operation produces ready assessment of applicability of vehicle to Southeast Asia beach areas; analysis of several missions conducted in South Vietnam shows high degree of applicability in widely varied terrain.
