| The Expeditionary
Fighting Vehicle (EFV) Program is the Marine Corps' number one priority
ground weapon system acquisition program as well as the only ACAT
1D program managed by the Marine Corps. The EFV will allow the Navy
and USMC to link maneuver in ships and maneuver ashore in all types
of amphibious operations, and will provide a new capability in support
of Expeditionary Maneuver Warfare. The EFV will provide the capability
to maneuver, combat loaded, with a Marine rifle squad at 20-25 knots
in the water, and maneuver cross country with agility and mobility
equal to or greater than that of the M1 Tank. The EFV will replace
the Marine Corps' aging current AAV7A1. |
