LAV-25 crew composition is 3 crew + 4 scouts.

• A. 2 crew and 5 scouts
• B. 3 crew and 3 scouts
• C. 4 crew and 3 scouts
• D. 3 crew + 4 scouts

Answer: (D)

Think about what each role on the LAV-25 does. The vehicle requires three crew members to operate it: a driver, a vehicle commander, and a gunner. In addition, four scouts are carried to perform dismounted reconnaissance and security tasks. So the standard setup is three crew members plus four scouts, which aligns with the described composition.

Options that reduce the crew to two would leave essential driving, command, or weapons duties understaffed, while options with four crew or fewer than four scouts misalign with how the vehicle is designed to operate. The balance of three crew and four scouts reflects the vehicle’s typical crew layout.
