Tests of the experimental LVT models LVTPX12, LVTRX2, and LVTEX3. Marines pilot the LVTPX12 on different terrain, including sand, asphalt road, snow, and jungle. LVTPX12s move through water, disembark the USS Valley Forge (LPH-8). Marines demonstrate the winch and crane capabilities of the LVTRX2. Demonstrations of the LVTEX3's line charge firing capabilities from land and water, and its excavator shovel on land.
