Marine assault amphibious vehicles will no longer deploy or train in the water after two investigations into the fatal sinking of one of them near San Diego last year, the Marine Corps announced Wednesday.
The Marine Corps will no longer send its amphibious assault vehicles on regular deployments or training in water except in crisis response, the service said Wednesday.
The U.S. Marine Corps has concluded its latest investigation into the 2020 accident that cost nine service members their lives, finding that the coronavirus pandemic and burnout contributed to it.
