What does the LAV-L primarily provide?

The LAV-L, or Light Armored Vehicle - Logistics, is specifically designed to support logistical operations within the Marine Corps. Its primary function is to transport essential supplies such as ammunition, rations, and petroleum, oil, and lubricants (POL). By delivering these critical supplies, the LAV-L ensures that combat units remain well-equipped and can sustain operations over extended periods.

This vehicle is armored for protection against small arms fire and shrapnel but does not focus on direct combat roles like firepower. Its design prioritizes logistical support and mobility over the offensive capabilities typical of some other vehicles in the Light Armored Vehicle family. This makes it an essential asset in maintaining the operational readiness and effectiveness of ground combat units by facilitating seamless supply chains in the field.
