The vehicles are able to maneuver on land and in deep or shallow waters, allowing for expedited amphibious troop movement. The DFT helps maintain proficiency in landing the surface assault element during amphibious operations to inland objectives with conducting mechanized operations and related combat support in operations ashore.
