The A1 variant featured improved engines and transmission, providing reliable amphibious transport for Marine infantry from ship to shore and inland operations. It saw extensive service in Vietnam and remained the Marines' workhorse until replaced by the AAV7, carrying up to 34 combat-equipped Marines.
