not sure how easy it'd be to quickly get a squad out via the ramp the the back of the APC/front of the boat.
But an interesting 'push me pull you' concept

Hmmm... Amphibious assault vehicle or bridging engineer vehicle?

Not intended as a ship-to-shore assault vehicle like the AAV, but rather aimed at mainly riverine environments such as certain parts of South America (and possibly Asia).
