U.S. Marines with Company B, 4th Assault Amphibian Battalion, Marine Forces Reserve, stand in formation during a sundown ceremony for the assault amphibious vehicle, Jacksonville, Florida, August 9, 2026. The ceremony formally decommissioned the AAV, ending over half a decade of service as the Marine Corps’ primary ship-to-shore vehicle. The AAV’s retirement paves the way for future amphibious operations as the Marine Corps transitions to the new amphibious combat vehicle. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Van Hoang)
