The Light Armored Vehicle 25 (LAV 25) is one variation of 8x8 wheeled vehicles that the Marine Corps began fielding in 1983.

The LAV 25 "possesses a potent combination of firepower, high mobility, communications and protection in an expeditionary platform," according to the US Marines.

It was used in the 1989 invasion of Panama, the 1991 Gulf War, the 2001 invasion of Afghanistan and the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
