If You Mess With The US Marines,

this could be coming for you!

the Marine Corps on Tuesday this week announced which companies would get to build prototypes of its new Amphibious Combat Vehicle, defence contractors BAE and SAIC will both build at least 13 models of their prototype of the Amphibious Combat Vehicle (with an option to build 3 more), as the next stage of vehicle selection, the vehicle ultimately selected will likely define how the Marine Corps fights for decades to come, especially in any conflicts in the Pacific, the new requirements for the Amphibious Combat vehicle reduce the number of Marines carried inside, but increase the distance travelled six times, so they can travel up to 12 miles before needing to hit land, it will have wheels, unlike the tracks of its predecessor, and to fit with current threats, it will also have some protection against land-mines and improvised explosive devices (IEDs), each vehicle would seat at least 10 Marines and their combat loads, handle 2-foot waves and cost about $7.5 million each.
