The USMC does use the M-ATV, but they were looking for a HMMWV replacement. The CTV/JLTV program was the replacement for the light vehicles. The M-ATV is part of the MRAP program and heavier than what the USMC was seeking. They wanted a light armored vehicle that could still be sling loaded into remote areas with their Marines. As of now, the JLTV program has been cut.

@christophersonawane It is, but the money/time they spend outfitting and training soldiers for war it's worth it. One IED can kill a squad of Marines. If this vehicle can save them, it saves money for the Government. I hate how soldiers lives really matter to the government in numbers but hey, this will save a lot more of them. My buddy overseas loves his M-ATV which became the replacement instead of the CTV

@MrFlylice Military tactics, an action or strategy carefully planned to achieve a specific end. The dictionary doesn't lie. Besides I wasn't criticizing it if I didn't knew what it meant at first. Also I already knew the difference between tactical (precision) and strategic bombing.

@TheShinraCorp Tactical refers to small-scale operations, as opposed to Strategic, which is large-scale.
A tactical nuke is one used for a specific, battlefield purpose. A strategic nuke is one used simply to devastate the target's infrastructure.
A tactical air strike is one with a small-scale intention. Strategic air strikes, otherwise known as strategic bombing, is what the Allies did to Germany in WWII when they blew apart their factories.
Learn terminology before criticizing it.

How is it against IEDs?

It uses a V-shaped hull to defeat the IED. Watch the both parts of my humvee replacement stories and you'll understand.
