U.S. Marines currently testing the Marine Corps’ newest amphibious vehicle, which will replace the current Amphibious Assault Vehicle.
美國海軍陸戰隊目前正在測試海軍陸戰隊最新的兩棲車輛，它將取代目前的兩棲攻擊車輛。
According to a recent service news release, U.S. Marines with Amphibious Vehicle Test Branch, Marine Corps Tactical Systems Support Activity, with the assistance from the amphibious transport dock ship USS Somerset (LPD 25), tested the Marine Corps’ new Amphibious Combat Vehicle off the shore of Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, California, Jan. 27-28.
根據最近的一份服務新聞稿，美國海軍陸戰隊兩棲車輛測試分隊，海軍陸戰隊戰術系統支持活動，在兩棲運輸碼頭船USS Somerset(LPD 25)的協助下，於1月27日至28日在加利福尼亞州海軍陸戰隊基地彭德爾頓海岸外測試了海軍陸戰隊的新型兩棲戰車。
The testing was the first time Marines have taken the ACV on and off of a naval vessel through the well deck, assessing and verifying the vehicle’s ability to integrate with naval shipping.
這次測試是海軍陸戰隊首次通過井甲板將ACV帶上和離開海軍艦艇，評估和驗證該車輛與海軍航運整合的能力。
“AVTB has been conducting testing with the ACV for approximately three years,” said U.S. Marine Maj.
“AVTB已經與ACV進行了大約三年的測試，”美國海軍陸戰隊少校說。
Justin Davis, the deputy director of AVTB. “As we look to replace the legacy platform (Amphibious Assault Vehicle), it goes without saying the ACV needs to do exactly what the AAV does.”
賈斯汀戴維斯，AVTB的副主任。“當我們尋求取代傳統平臺(兩棲突擊車輛)時，不用說ACV需要做的就是AAV所做的事情。”
The multi-day test consisted of embarking and debarking the naval vessel and multiple on-ship operations.
多天的試驗包括登船和下船以及多次船上作業。
The Marines conducted the embarking and debarking operations while the ship was moving at various speeds and with the ACV’s configured at different weights.
海軍陸戰隊在船以不同的速度移動時進行上船和下船的操作，ACV的配置為不同的重量。
While inside the ship, the Marines tested the ACV’s towing, pushing and pulling capabilities.
在船上，海軍陸戰隊測試了ACV的拖曳，推拉能力。
“It’s good to see these changes happening within the amphibious community,” said Sgt.
“很高興看到這些變化發生在兩棲社區，”中士說。
Nicholas Vickers, a vehicle commander with AVTB. “We are setting the standard operating procedures for these vehicles so when they hit the Fleet Marine Force, there is a smooth transition.”
尼古拉斯·維克斯(Nicholas Vickers)，AVTB的一名車輛指揮官。“我們正在為這些車輛設定標準操作程序，以便當它們襲擊艦隊海軍陸戰隊時，會有一個平穩的過渡。”
The ACV has proven in its testing to bring enhanced lethality, survivability and maneuverability compared to the AAV. The AVTB’s role in testing the ACVs in their developmental stage is essential to pass on to the operating forces for when it is fielded.
ACV在其測試中已經證明，與AAV相比，ACV具有更強的殺傷力、生存性和機動性。AVTB在ACV開發階段測試中的作用對於在部署時將其傳遞給作戰力量是至關重要的。
Performing successful ship to shore operations takes the ACV one step closer to securing a spot in Marine Corps history.
執行成功的船對岸操作使ACV離確保海軍陸戰隊歷史上的一席之地又近了一步。
