ISBN: 9781849086110 / Angielski / Miękka / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Light Armored Vehicle -25 (LAV-25) has played a significant role in transforming Marine Corps doctrine since its introduction in the early-1980s.

This resulted in multiple re-designations for LAV units within the Corps. The LAV first saw combat action in...
