LAV-25 is an eight-wheeled armored personnel carrier (APC) used by the United States Marine Corps built by General Dynamics Land Systems Canada, based on the Swiss Mowag Piranha family of armored fighting vehicles.
The interesting thing is that the Army almost bought 2000~ LAVs for themselves at the start of the program, massively dwarfing the Marine Corp order. Ultimately only 12 would get borrowed from the Corp by the 82nd airborne in Op. Desert Storm.
