| The
Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle (EFV) is a keystone for both the Marine
Corps Expeditionary Maneuver Warfare (EMW) and Ship-to-Objective Maneuver
(STOM) warfighting concepts. It represents the Marine Corps primary means
of tactical mobility for the Marine Rifle Squad during the conduct of
amphibious operations and subsequent ground combat operations ashore.
The EFV is an armored amphibious vehicle capable of seamlessly transporting
Marines from Naval ships located beyond the visual horizon to inland objectives.
While providing the speed and maneuvering capabilities to operate with
the main battle tank on land, current obstacles to the landing force such
as oceans, lakes and rivers, can be used by the EFV as high speed avenues
of approach and maneuver. |
