BREACHER DELIVERY: Not to your doorstep, to a beach near Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. A U.S. Marine Corps M1150 Assault Breacher Vehicle (ABV) exits a U.S. Navy Landing Craft Utility. Good photo of the ABV. Here’s a photo from 2010 with an ABV sporting a plow attachment. This photo’s caption also explains what hides inside the “charge tubs.” This military technology update from 2009 explains why the Marines acquired the ABV. Finally, a photo of a U.S. Army ABV launching a mine clearing charge. When you need combat engineers, you need combat engineers. The problem is, there are never enough combat engineers when you need them.
