ACV crew size?

ACV crew size?

• A. 13 embarked troops
• B. 10 embarked troops
• C. 12 embarked troops
• D. 15 embarked troops

Answer: (A)

The key idea is separating who runs the vehicle from how many troops it can carry inside. The ACV’s crew are the people operating the vehicle (vehicle commander, driver, and gunner). The number of embarked troops is how many Marines it can transport in the troop compartment. The standard personnel configuration of the ACV allows 13 embarked troops. So, in addition to the three crew members, the vehicle can carry 13 Marines inside. This makes a total of 16 people aboard the vehicle in that setup, though the question is specifically about the number of embarked troops.
