Combat Assault Company, 3rd Marine Regiment, conduct a live-fire exercise at Ulupa’u Crater Range Training Facility ...Pics by Cpl. Eric Tso

Note.  Looking at these pics I have to wonder.  Does moving LAR over to the ACV platform (with unique gear) and redesignating LAR/ACV battalions into CAC's (a total of 2...one on each coast reinforced) make sense?   Each "Company Landing Team" will have within its ranks a cohesive unit able to provide protected amphibious assault across the beach and onto the objective, can conduct robust motorized raids, can detach an element to conduct "LAR" type missions and remain a more potent, deployable and flexible force.  Just something to toss around.  Its a sketch not a final form.
