This article specified that the LAV-25 runs on "diesel fuel (JP-8)". JP-8 is a kerosene-based jet fuel, not a diesel fuel--helicopters, jet aircraft, and turbine-powered vehicles such as the M1 tank use it, but not diesel engines. I find it hard to believe that JP-8 could be used with the diesel engine with which the LAV-25 is equipped; however, I couldn't find any reference confirming or denying such. A search with google pulls up dozens of articles which read exactly the same as this article did...but I think they're all either copied from this article, or from the same source as this article.
Anyway, I removed the link from the article. If I erred in this, please fix it and post a reference in the article and here in the discussion page. Dziban303 01:43, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
Added information on the LAV-25A2 upgrades. Pictures of the new armor package can be found here: http://www.usmc.mil/marinelink/image1.nsf/Lookup/2006922121058
Question: I have not seen any information on the T/O & T/E for the USMC LAR Bn's. Should this information be included in this article or within each LAR Bn article? It may be redundant to place the information within each separate Bn's article as they are generally the same. I believe that this information should be placed here. Jct0302 22:41, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
I added info on the LAV-LOG. I don't remember which vehicle it's based on (C2?), and my cheat sheet is still packed in my gear somewhere. --Johnny ( Cuervo) 17:12, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
How did these do over there? Battle Ready by USMC General Zinni mentioned somewhere that Marine APCs weren't heavy enough for the job I think. AThousandYoung 06:56, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
That is the AAV that arn't armored enough. -- CnrFallon ( talk) 22:12, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
I do not think that this has been retired. I know that we had several with us when I went to Iraq with the intial invasion. That was four years ago but i doudt they were retired since then. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.203.128.28 ( talk) 11:41, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

I'm a 2147, and I've only ever heard the command/control vehicles referred to as "C-squares" since MOS school, versus the "C-two" I just saw. I corrected the article to read "'C-squares' or 'C-twos'", but I'll be consulting fellow LAV mechs to see what they think. --Johnny ( Cuervo) 02:27, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
I was with 2d LAI/LAR from 90-95 we refered to them as "C-square"...I'm guessing those more elder boots were of the confused sort. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.13.80.51 ( talk) 07:46, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
I've added a link to the MOWAG family tree, because it can be a bit confusing... Snori ( talk) 08:35, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
Not quite sure why, but when I was looking for light armor as in light tank, I instead got redirected to here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 167.93.7.34 ( talk) 14:01, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
Why is it being compared to BTRs? Those are APCs not IFVs. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.3.179.107 ( talk) 16:57, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.
Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

The heading to this section needs to be changed to "LAV-1" since that's what they are re: "LAV-2" and "LAV-3" are follow-on models. Anyone who refers to LAV-1s as "LAV-25s" comes off as uneducated and plain old wrong. The page listing the LAV-1 sub-types as "LAV-AT" and what not further gives away the lie. If GDLS fangirls are vandalizing this page to further corporate greed because LAV-1 looks bad aka old, that's too damn bad because they are LAV-1s since they have made LAV-2s and LAV-3s afterwards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.190.165.112 ( talk) 02:32, 28 September 2019 (UTC)
