The Corps has little to no use for an primary APC/IFV that can't float. While that means it will always be underarmored and usually undergunned by most standards they tend to make up for it with their very close cooperation with helos and air support.

Given the history of the EFVP I think everyone will be content to wait until the USMC actually buys HAVOC or something else before we bother including it in the OOB. I'm betting they'd much prefer a tracked vehicle for mobility reasons.
