Simply put, no, the USMC is evaluating the ST Engineering/SAIC submission which is the TERREX 2 8x8 which will carry
C2/P12
fully equipped troops with resupply. As discussed in ref. 1. Ref. 2 looks at both ACV 1.1 and the MPC Programs. 3. The competition BAE/IVECO from the "ground up". 4. The GAO speaks. 5. Another option? This was expressed in other places as well. I always respect another point of view, however, SAM's come to my mind as another problem and lift capability.

The AVC 1.1 is just the beginning "a stop gap" if you will. If allowed to fully mature, in the end there will be an over the horizon solution-or Dons favorite-something akin to the
EFV.
