Played around near one of these today so thought I would share since its kinda rare to spot one in the wild. Its the recovery vehicle variant of the Marine amtrac. Since FMC made less than 1400 amtracs, and this subvariant probably accounts for less than 10% of that production, I figured I would share…

From the dossier:
AAVR-7A1 (Recovery): This vehicle also does not have a turret. The R7 is considered the
“wrecker”, as it has a crane as well as most tools and equipment needed for field repairs. It is by far the heaviest of the three, and sits considerably lower in the water. Crew of three, not including the repairmen. The vehicle is designed to recover similar or smaller size vehicles. It also carries basic maintenance equipment to provide field support maintenance to vehicles in the field.
