Default LVTP5A1 Landing Vehicle, Tracked

The Vietnam era LVTP5A1 Landing Vehicle, Tracked was deployed in a variety of models, including the LVTC5 (Command, Model 5), LVTE1 (Engineer, Model 1), LVTH6 (Howitzer, Model 6), and LVTR1 (Recovery, Model 1). The LVTP7, which entered the Marine Corps inventory in the early 1970s, was a quantum improvement over the short-ranged LVTP5.
