Who knew? The US Coast Guard has amphibius craft! Too bad they haven't expanded this program to include smaller vehicles for use in the Southern US. I can actually see them doing good work especially after a hurricane hits...AAV's played a huge role in the rescue of citizens after Hurricane Katrina and it might be good to see a few painted in Coast Guard colors. On a side note maybe police depts need to be equipping with those type vehicles for real rescue work instead of MRAPs.
