A Marine Corps Amphibious Combat Vehicle with 3rd Assault Amphibian Battalion, 1st Marine Division, moves toward the USS Harpers Ferry during Steel Knight 23 off the coast of Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, California, Nov. 29, 2022. ACV’s are currently authorized to conduct waterborne operations in open and protected waters, while surf zone transit testing is ongoing. Steel Knight is an annual combined arms live-fire exercise which ensures 1st MARDIV is optimized for naval expeditionary warfare in contested spaces, and is purpose-built to facilitate future operations afloat and ashore.
