184 amphibious combat vehicles have already been fielded by BAE Systems to the Marine Corps.
Lt. Col. Christopher O’Melia was relieved of command of 1st Battalion, 4th Marine Regiment, by the commanding general of 1st Marine Division.
Battalion Landing Team 1/5 reported the rifle unaccounted for “following a Joint Light Tactical Vehicle movement."
The service remains on track to recertify all roughly 300 operators of the amphibious combat vehicle on how to operate it safely in water.
