Re: APC Development and related topics.
According to Headquarters Marine Corps - AAV 3 Crew + 21 Combat Marines. You'll find pages 10 - 11 very interesting in that it defines the current manning and equipment of the Ground Combat Element ( GCE) of the USMC that comprises part of a Marine Expeditionary Unit ( MEU). Pages 12 -13 Aviation Combat Element ( ACE) manning and equipment with Pages 14 - 15 covering same for Logistics.

Further down you'll find data on ground fire support (Mortars etc.) same for air and ammo resources. Units as assigned to current Amphibian ship classes etc. etc. Should keep a couple of you busy for awhile if for nothing else then simple verification. Haven't quite seen anything out here yet to this detail and this current on the USMC in a long while. I just happened to stumble upon in my USMC data search on the AAV.
GAO are number cruncher's they ain't military.

Pat
