    U.S. Marine Corps Chief Warrant Officer 4 Roy Farner, left, a Virginia native and the ordinance vehicle maintenance officer, and Master Gunnery Sgt. Michael Harris, an Idaho native and the operations chief, both with 2d Assault Amphibian Battalion, 2d Marine Division, guide an Assault Amphibious Vehicle-P7/A1 onto a trailer 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.
