Background

The PM AAA New Equipment Training (NET) Team was established to support multiple tasks leading up to the fielding of the ACV. This included the review of training and technical deliverables from the Vehicle Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), crewing the Operational Assessment (OA) vehicles, participating in the Logistics Demonstration (LOG Demo), conducting Gunnery Training, and training on test vehicles at multiple locations.

The NET Team primarily consisted of mapped billets drawn from the Operating Forces (OpFor), and ranged from Sergeant and above, since the NET Team would be training senior and junior-level Marines. OpFor billets were mapped to provide approximately 32 operators of the vehicles during the ACV OA. After the completion of the ACV OA, the crewman billets would then return to the OpFor. PM AAA then realized the billets (i.e., Marines) would be required through FY21, to include LOG Demo through completion, and ACV Initial Operational Capability (IOC) fielding. During the 2019 Assault Amphibian Summit, OpFor expressed they could no longer support the NET requirements following the Initial Operational Test & Evaluation (IOT&E) due to other operational commitments. Due to the current manpower shortfalls, the NET Team is unable to conduct training to support ACV fielding.
