 The Navy Marine Corps team assaulted Gold Beach at Camp Pendleton as part of Exercise Don Blitz 2015. Utilizing amphibious assault vehicles, Marines from 1st Battalion, 5th Marines came ashore. The amphibious tractors that we're using the AAVs are 40, 42 years old average. They're not going any faster than they did 45, 50 years ago. So we have to replace this vehicle with an amphibious combat vehicle, something with increased speed, increased reliability, and increased survivability. Don Blitz 2015 is both synchronizing the blue-green team and exhibiting our readiness as a sea-going military with the capability to move from sea to shore.
