The US Army participated in Operation Restore Hope in Somalia from December 3, 1992 to May 4, 1993. On 09 December 1992 the United States Marines came shore in Mogadishu and quickly established an expeditionary infrastructure to facilitate security and the delivery of food to the starving Somalis. About the AAV7A1: The AAV7A1 family of vehicles now being coproduced by SAMSUNG TECHWIN and United Defense LP, is the most advanced version of the AAV7/LVT7. The unique vessel-shaped hull design, powerful water jet and powertrain make the AAV7A1 family a highly mobile fleets of amphibious vehicles. They travel 13km/h in the water and 72km/h on the land enabling them to achieve effective ship to shore transport operations in a variety of adverse seal/land conditions. The all-welded aluminum hull of the AAV7A1 protects the crew from small arms fire, shell splinters and flash burns. To suppress residual penetration of shaped-charge munitions, state-of-the-arts enhanced applique armorkit(EAAK) has been added to the hull. Other improvements on the AAV7A1 which add to vehicle survivability is the installation of auto fire suppression and NBC protection system. The AAVP7A1 is equipped with a new upgunned weapon station that is more reliable and provides greater fire-power than previous models. It mounts an MK19 40mm grenade launcher(K4) and an M2 HB CAL 50 machine gun(K6) in coaxial mount. The weapon station allows the gunner to engage targets out to 1,500meters and to traverse a full 360 degree at a speed of 45degree per second.
