WWII/Korea LVT Museum

WWII/Korea LVT Museum, Military vehicle museum at Camp Del Mar, Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, California, US.

The WWII/Korea LVT Museum occupies a Quonset hut-style building at Camp Del Mar, Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, near the Assault Amphibian School Battalion Training Command. It displays six vintage landing vehicle tracked (LVT) models used by the US Marine Corps in World War II and the Korean War.

The museum opened on May 24, 1996 and received the Colonel John H. Magruder III Award from the Marine Corps Heritage Foundation in its first year. The vehicles it preserves were used in amphibious operations from the early 1940s through the early 1950s.

The museum highlights the service of the "Alligator" Marines, the crews who drove tracked landing vehicles into amphibious assaults in World War II and Korea. A special exhibit, the "Gator Gallery", is devoted to the amphibious vehicles of the Korean War. Six vintage LVT models used by the US Marine Corps are on display.

The museum occupies a Quonset hut at Camp Del Mar, next to the Assault Amphibian School Battalion Training Command. Because it sits on an active base, arrange the visit in advance by writing to lvtmuseum@gmail.com and carry identification for base security checks.

The collection documents the role of a specialized group known as Alligator Marines, who piloted tracked landing vehicles directly into combat zones. Their tactics for amphibious assaults were developed during the Second World War and later adapted for operations in Korea.
