    U.S. Marine Corps Lance Cpl. David Trueax, a Kentucky native and Amphibious Combat Vehicle mechanic with 2d Assault Amphibian Battalion, 2d Marine Division, prepares an AAV-P7/A1 for transport on Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, May 19, 2025. The AAV-P7/A1, a cornerstone of Marine Corps amphibious operations, separated with the last Active Duty AAV-P7/A1s, marking the end of an era for a vehicle that played a crucial role in numerous amphibious assaults and operations spanning over 50 years. After decades of dependable service, the AAV-P7/A1’s retirement paves the way for the future of amphibious warfare, as the Marine Corps transitions to the new Amphibious Combat Vehicle (ACV) and continues its legacy of rapid-response operations.
