The AAV (Amphibious Assault Vehicle) is the USMC's current amphibious troop transport. It is a tracked vehicle that can be launched from sea and deliver 21 Marines to land. The official designation is AAV7Al (formerly known as the LVTP7A1).
The AAV is slated to be replaced with the AAAV starting in 2008
The primary responsibility of the AAVs during an amphibious operation is to spearhead a beach assault.
AAV RAM/RS plans for the rebuild of all AAV systems and components in order to return the AAV back to the original vehicle's performance specifications and ensure acceptable Fleet Marine Force (FMF) AAV readiness ratings until the AAAV is at FOC.
The AAV RAM/RS Team implemented a number of innovative acquisition approaches and processes to centralize management of an upgrade program to be performed through U.S. Marine Corps depots and industry facilities, to increase the quality, efficiency, responsiveness and timeliness of the acquisition process, and to reduce Total Ownership Cost (TOC) by over $550 million.
Aboriginal Affairs Victoria (AAV) is the Victorian Government's central point of advice on all aspects of Aboriginal affairs in Victoria.
AAV is often the first point of call by members of the Aboriginal community and its organisations requiring information on a wide range of issues.
AAV's responsibilities are performed through its three branches: the Planning and Development Branch, the Heritage Services Branch, and the Portfolio Services Branch.
