Marines to Get New Ultralight ATVs

Infantry Marines will soon receive ultralight off-road vehicles that will improve mission readiness by providing rapid logistics support in the field. The U.S. Marine Corps is expected to deliver 144 Utility Task Vehicles (UTVs) to the regiment-level starting later this month. The rugged all-terrain vehicle can carry up to four Marines or haul 1,500 pounds of supplies. With minimal armor, the UTV can quickly haul extra ammunition and provisions, or injured Marines. Thanks to its small size, the UTV fits inside MV-22 Ospreys and CH-53E helicopters for easy transport to remote locations and greater tactical support.
