Overland ULTRA being tested by 2nd MARDIV

An Overland ULTRA is staged prior to a simulated resupply on Range 220 during Service Level Training Exercise 4-26 on Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center, Twentynine Palms, California, Aug. 14, 2026. The Overland ULTRA is an autonomous, uncrewed ground vehicle that 2nd Marine Division is testing for its capabilities to resupply Marines in austere environments. SLTE 4-26 is designed to be a challenging, realistic training environment that produces combat-ready forces capable of operating as an integrated Marine Air Ground Task Force across all domains of military operations.

A gutted Light Tactical Vehicle at least makes sense in this role and if you give it a follow the leader type coding then perhaps they can get it into the field yesterday...but AI is all the hotness so more experimentation I'm sure.

While I have doubts about the Light Tactical Vehicle on the modern battlefield, if paired with this concept (assuming it works) then it could be used to quadruple magazine depth for loitering drones, anti-tank missiles, anti-air missiles etc....then it becomes a question of footprint because if dispersed squads are suppose to take on armored companies then they're gonna need alot more firepower.

Found this video from last year.
