About the LVT-4 - Tracked Amphibious Landing Vehicle:

Versatile, powerful, and bristling with machine-guns, the LVT-4 (Landing Vehicle Tracked-4) was specially designed for the brutal amphibious operations of the Second World War. Introduced in 1943, the LVT-4 improved upon earlier iterations of amphibious assault vehicles, featuring a more powerful engine, increased armor, and better flotation capability. With its rugged tracks, the LVT-4 could navigate sandy beaches, swamps, and rivers, making it an invaluable asset for operations in the rough, varied, and unpredictable terrain of the Pacific Theater.

The LVT-4 could carry up to 30 fully-equipped infantrymen, along with supplies and light weapons, directly onto beaches under heavy enemy fire. The U.S. Marines were the primary users of the LVT-4, and it carried men and material ashore against entrenched Japanese forces during key battles such as Saipan, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa, often under heavy bombardment, across reefs, and through rough surf. The Marines adapted the LVT-4 for various roles, including as a mobile mortar platform, ambulance, and command vehicle. LVT-4s also deployed to Northwest Europe, where they aided Allied assaults through the Netherlands and across the Rhine. The tracked vehicle served through the end of the war, and it displayed the Allies’ ability to innovate and manufacture tools to overcome the logistical and battlefield challenges of the war..

From the Designer:
"A complete overhaul of my earlier version (last released seven years ago) with huge improvements as parts and capabilities allow. Base model will include one USMC driver wrapped up for cold weather operations. There will be an option to preorder up to four of our new Iwo Jima Marines with each kit. Has all of the features you would expect, including crew compartment that fits two minifigs, opening rear ramp, smooth rolling tracks, and four BrickArms machine guns. Includes extra parts needed to convert for US Army operations (but no US Army figure)."
