United States Marine Corps: Modern Amphibious Assault Units

[AnthonyBoscia]

What good are all those amphibious ships without Marines to carry?



​

USMC AAVP-7A1 Amtrack Amtracks carry Marines from ship to shore and then act as massive armored personnel carriers. These tracks have been in service over 40 years.

USMC LAV-25 Recon Vehicle Light armored recon vehicle with 25 mm cannon and coax.

USMC AH-1W SuperCobra Upgraded version of Marine attack helicopter in a paint scheme from the late 80s.

During 2012 the Marines came to Ceveland and launched an amphibious assault from Lake Erie to "capture" Burke Lakefront Airport. It was only one LCAV and a few Amtracks, but it was still amazing to watch! And they had ample air support, too.

Units are awesome.

Very good pack, with amazing helicopter animations once again

 

[Ozymandias]

Yet more fantastic work! (And, curiously, the first military bio I read, ca. age 12, was about "Chesty" Puller.)

Tony, thank you very much for all your great and wonderful work!

Thanks, guys. The amtrack was a real project but was one I wanted to get right. I learned a lot about Bryce motion lab on these units, with great assistance from Delta Strife. The Cobra model came with a gorgeous texture and it did all the hard work for me. Like photographing a supermodel.
