Lance Cpl. William Klier, crewman with 4th Assault Amphibian Battalion and native of Tampa, Fla., supervises Maxwell Wallace, 9-year-old native of Youngstown, Ohio, in the turret of an amphibious assault vehicle in Public Square in downtown Cleveland June 14, 2012. The AAV was one of many static displays located in Public Square, Gateway Plaza, Voinovich Park and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame available for public viewing. The AAV, which is nearly 30 tons, can operate on land and water and is used to bring troops from larger ships to the shore. More than 750 Marines will be in Cleveland until June 17 displaying Marine aircraft, vehicles and equipment, as well as interacting and sharing with the public the values and character of the Marine Corps. One of the culminating events will be a Marine Air Ground Task Force demonstration, which showcases Marines' ability to assault from ship-to-shore via ground and air, June 16-17 at Burke Lakefront Airport.
