Download or read book TM 9-775 Landing Vehicle Tracked, Lvt Mk. I and Mk. II Technical Manual written by War Department and published by Periscope Film LLC. This book was released on 2013-05-01 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Landing Vehicle Tracked (LVT) was a class of amphibious warfare vehicle, a small landing craft, introduced by the United States Navy, Marine Corps and Army during World War II. Originally intended solely as cargo carriers for ship to shore operations, they rapidly evolved into assault troop and fire support vehicles as well. The LVT Mark I was the first military model. Traveling at a respectable six knots in the water and twelve mph on land, it could deliver twenty four fully equipped assault troops to the beach. Though it was only intended for delivering supplies inland until wheeled vehicles could be brought ashore, the LVT could supply supporting fire from two .30 cal M1919 Browning machine guns. Many LVTs were refitted prior to the Tarawa landing to hold two .50 cal Browning heavy machine guns forward, with the .30 cal guns aft. The vehicle was not armored and its thin steel hull offered virtually no protection, although prior to Tarawa some vehicles received nine mm of armor plating to the cab. The LVT's tracks performed well on sand, but not on tough surfaces. The rigid suspension threw tracks and roller bearings corroded in salt water. Proper maintenance of the new machine was often an issue, as few Marines were trained to work on it, and early models suffered frequent breakdowns. The LVT Mark II featured new powertrain and torsilastic suspension. The aluminium track grousers were bolted on, making changes much easier since they wore out quickly on land and more so on coral. Hard terrain performance was much better compared to the LVT Mark I. Created in 1944, this technical manual reveals a great deal about the LVT's design and capabilities. Intended as a manual for those charged with operation and maintenance, it details many aspects of its engine, cooling, fuel, powertrain and other systems. Originally labeled restricted, this manual was declassified long ago and is here reprinted in book form. Care has been taken to preserve the integrity of the text.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The small, amphibious landing craft known as the Landing Vehicle, Tracked, or Amtrac evolved from a civilian rescue vehicle to a ship-to-shore cargo transport, to finally an amphibious troop transport and fire support craft. Donald Roebling's swamp rescue vehicle made the pages of Life Magazine in 1937 and caught the eye of the U.S. military, in particular the Marine Corps brass. A contract for 200 vehicles was issued in February 1940, and so began the story of constant development and modification of the amphibious transport. The vehicle's versatility increased demand to the point that manufacture was eventually shared out among FMC, Borg-Warner, Graham-Paige and the St. Louis Car Company. This volume covers in detail the development, production, and combat career of the LVT(4) which saw extensive action in the Pacific and Rhine Crossing. Illustrated with over 225 vintage photographs plus color profiles and over a dozen color renderings and detailed line drawings.

Book excerpt: The Marine Corps Surface Mobility Program has as a major thrust area, the development of lightweight, affordable, and reliable components for future Marine Corps amphibious vehicles. In a tracked combat vehicle which must also operate in the salt water environment, it is essential that gross vehicle weight be minimized. One area for significant weight reduction potential is track and suspension. The Aluminum Company of America has designed and fabricated an aluminum track which is compatible for installation on the Marine Corps LVT7 family of amphibious vehicles.

This book was released on 2016-08-09 with total page 666 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the second volume in a series of chronological histories prepared by the Marine Corps History and Museums Division to cover the entire span of Marine Corps involvement in the Vietnam War. This volume details the Marine activities during 1965, the year the war escalated and major American combat units were committed to the conflict. The narrative traces the landing of the nearly 5,000-man 9th Marine Expeditionary Brigade and its transformation into the ΙII Marine Amphibious Force, which by the end of the year contained over 38,000 Marines. During this period, the Marines established three enclaves in South Vietnam’s northernmost corps area, I Corps, and their mission expanded from defense of the Da Nang Airbase to a balanced strategy involving base defense, offensive operations, and pacification. This volume continues to treat the activities of Marine advisors to the South Vietnamese armed forces but in less detail than its predecessor volume, U.S. Marines in Vietnam, 1954-1964; The Advisory and Combat Assistance Era.

Book excerpt: Tactical mobility, Strategic mobility, LVT(Landing Vehicle Tracked), LCAC(Landing Craft Air Cushioned), LAV(Light Armor Vehicle), HMMWV(High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle) Abstract: Today's generation of defense planners realize that to fight and win on tomorrow's battlefields, the US Marine Corps will require more tactical mobility than is presently provided by Landing Vehicle Tracked (LVT) and helicopter assets. A number of innovations are on the drawing boards and in the test-beds that will dramatically change the way Marines fight in the future. The author discusses the impact of the US Navy's new Landing Craft Air-Cushioned (LCAC) and how it will combine with current and planned USMC troop-lift assets to provide the Corps with enhanced tactical mobility.
