Terrex AV 8x8 at the Amphibious Vehicle Test Branch

Sources tell me that the Terrex AV 8x8 is currently at the Amphibious Vehicle Test Branch, Camp Pendleton undergoing testing.

I'm touching base with contacts at Pendleton as we speak trying to see if I can get someone in a ghillie suit to go down and take pics of the vehicle in the water.

As far as the MPC concept is concerned, the silence that's coming from the Marine Corps on both the MPC and ACV projects makes me wonder if they might be merging.  One thing is certain.  The continuous delays of the ACV have probably doomed that program...especially in this budget environment.

In the end we might be lucky to get the MPC and an upgraded AAV.  If we're lucky that is.
