Very doubtful.
With a crew of 3 and 7 passengers it's not something the USMC would probably be interested in.
They prefer to move an entire USMC squad (13 people) per vehicle.
Why?
Simple, volume/mass.
You can only fit so much aboard a ship, there's no way in hell to double the number of vehicles carried aboard to move the same number of people, not to mention twice as many vehicle and maintenance crew.
