ACV stands for?

• A. Armored Combat Vehicle
• B. Autonomous Combat Vehicle
• C. Amphibious Combat Vehicle
• D. All-terrain Combat Vehicle

Answer: (C)

ACV refers to a vehicle built to operate both on land and in water, designed to support Marines during beach landings while providing armor and firepower. The correct expansion is Amphibious Combat Vehicle. The word Amphibious highlights the water-to-land capability essential for vehicles that transition from ships to shore. The term Combat Vehicle indicates it is armed and protected for battlefield use, not just a transport. The other options describe different concepts—Armored suggests protection without water capability, Autonomous implies driverless operation, and All-terrain is a generic description that doesn’t specify water operation.
