US Marines at Cold Response 14...Photos by Sgt. Tatum Vayavananda






An LAV-25, the Marine Corps’ flagship eight-wheeled amphibious assault vehicle, sits above the small Norwegian town of Soreisa during Cold Response 14. Cold Response 14 brings together nearly 16,000 troops from 16 countries to train high-intensity operations in the unique climate of northern Norway, above the Arctic Circle.
Uh what the fuck over?

Is this just a Sgt that needs to be educated in the proper nomenclature of Marine Corps armored vehicles or is this a hint at a MUCH diminished standard when it comes to amphibious assault vehicles?

On a different note, do you see how much that green sticks out in the arctic environment?  We've gone to Coyote Brown as a "common" color for all uniform accessories (782 gear), would it work for vehicles too?
