BAE Systems has been awarded a $188.5 million full-rate production (FRP) contract from the U.S. Marine Corps for 30 ACV-30mm vehicles, which includes fielding support, spares and test equipment.



This is the first award as part of the FRP Lot 5/6 contract.

The ACV-30 includes an integrated medium caliber Remote Turret System which the government is procuring separately and integrating at Naval Information Warfare Integration Center Atlantic. The ACV-30 enables transport of troops, mission essential equipment, and other payloads, while providing the lethality and protection Marines need. The lightweight turret system also ensures platform mobility is preserved.

“The ACV is tested and proven to be incredibly adaptable – it not only swims, but it’s also optimized for ship-to-shore, island-hopping, and advanced land operations,” said Rebecca McGrane, vice president of Amphibious programs at BAE Systems. “With enhanced direct-fire lethality via the 30mm fully stabilized weapon system, the ACV-30 helps to ensure Marines are ready for any mission, land or sea.”

In addition, BAE Systems is currently under contract for the ACV-Personnel (ACV-P) and ACV-Command (ACV-C). The ACV-P variant has the ability to transport 13 combat-loaded Marines plus three crew, while the ACV-C variant provides multiple workstations for Marines to maintain and manage situational awareness in the battle space.

The company is also building three ACV-Recovery (ACV-R) variant Production Representative Test vehicles which will provide field maintenance, recovery, and repair capabilities to the Assault Amphibian companies in support of the Marine division.

Work for the ACV-30mm will take place in York, Pennsylvania, Johnstown, Pennsylvania and Charleston, South Carolina through the third quarter of 2026.

America's education system is in more trouble than you thought...

This is a morality problem.

America no longer has a moral compass to direct it...a unifying moral compass that is.

So what do we have?  Teachers more concerned about sexuality than basic math, history, finances and a host of other subjects.

We are watching a generation that seemingly doesn't know right from wrong or worse DO KNOW right from wrong yet feel the need to act outrageously anyway.

We worry about military and economic power.  We should worry about our moral decline.

We're in the middle  of a descent into hell and no one is paying attention.  We have become the Roman Empire the difference is that we (society) birthed the barbarians and they're inside the gate.

About the servicemembers working at the nightclub in Colorado...

 Ya'll are gonna think I've lost my mind on this but about those servicemembers working at the nightclub in Colorado that got raided by the DEA and found gang members/illegals.

Have some understanding and a bit of mercy.

Yeah.

Ya heard me right.

Why?

Because they PROBABLY didn't know that the club was considered an undercover night club.  They PROBABLY didn't know that the club was filled with gang members and especially terrorist gang members.  They can't be judged because it had "illegals" inside...what does an "illegal" look like.

I don't know about ya'll but nightclubs in military towns are on the lookout for military members to work as bouncers.  I don't know why but they do.  I worked clubs while on active duty in 29 Palms and San Diego.

It was quick and easy cash along with the other "perks" that come with working as a bouncer (think getting hit on by women and I'm talking about while they're in the club not trying to get in...not the drug part).

So yeah.  The optics are terrible but this is a military blog.  Everyone here knows the deal.  Besides if ya'll didn't work as bouncers I bet ya had a buddy that got you in without paying more than a few times.

A thread on Ibrahim Traoré (read it all)

 

Burkina Faso MIGHT be an example of what we want to see in Africa. The man might flawed but you can't argue with his CURRENT goals. I definitely need more info on this bubba. So far I kinda like what I'm seeing and wonder why AFRICOM seems to be plotting against him.

Good riddance to human trash...

General Langley (AFRICOM) has been talking about Burkina Faso & their leader. Now he's in Africa and many think military action is imminent...

 

I find this interesting.

Ya'll might not remember but this was a FRENCH PROBLEM!  They got kicked out and whined.  They tried to play game with the French dollar and Traore basically blocked it.

Don't get me wrong.  Traore is NOT the good guy, but he has taken steps to improve the lives of people in his country.  The main attraction for the French and POSSIBLY the US?  Impressive gold mining opportunities (always been curious about gold...its not actually a rare metal but its costs are inflated...don't know why).

Either way you slice it, this visit is worth watching.  Africa is big and I don't know how you take military action with the distances involved.  We got kicked out of Niger and Mali so that leaves Ghana or Liberia as staging points but I don't think they'd bite.

Africa is hard.  The distances will make any fight a logistical nightmare.

China is losing the trade war...“And I love the fact Xi’s getting his head squeezed like a teenage pimple right now.” via Overton News

CNN’s Abby Phillip thought she had Kevin O’Leary cornered when she argued: “No, no. I know you're not opposed to tariffs, I'm saying you're opposed to taxes——and tariffs are taxes.” But O’Leary didn’t flinch. He fired right back: “Taxes are permanent. Tariffs are a negotiating weapon,” He went on to explain why the strategy was working. “Why is every leader of every country in Europe showing up in Washington every week?——They want to cut a deal!” O’Leary pointed out that the pace might feel chaotic, but it was unprecedented—and intentional. “You don't like that in nine weeks we don't have a deal? No administration has ever tried to cut sixty deals at once.” He made it even simpler for her: “All you need is one. Pen one. India, EU, Britain—whatever. That becomes the blueprint for the rest.” Once that first domino falls, he explained, the rest will follow. “And then settle with China, because that’s a different story.” Finally, O’Leary delivered the Shark Tank-style kill shot: “And I love the fact Xi’s getting his head squeezed like a teenage pimple right now.”
