Description
Testing of the LVTPX12, an experimental amphibious vehicle model accepted in 1967. Six experimental LVTs are shown debarking from a carrier and maneuvering to shore in heavy surf. In additional footage, the LVTPX12 is shown in various environments: operating in jungle terrain, heavy snow and sandy regions. The film culminates in what appears to be a test of the vehicles' resiliency to artillery fire.
