Original information:
Harris was originally designed to attract the attention of foreign bidders. The first of these became the US Marine Corps, which became interested in this machine around 1969, when it was first brought into service at the RAF. Hawker Siddeley then made some adjustments to the aircraft, and in 1971 the AV-8A Harrier entered the US Marines as an airplane close to air support.
Harrier operated from offshore assault ships, and his task was to increase the efficiency of US Navy's larger combat aircrafts by providing immediate near-air support to combat units, roughly similar to helicopters, with heavier weapons.
Later, since 1979, AV-8A variants have been upgraded to the AV-8C specification. At that time, their combat effectiveness was already proven in a number of military exercises and their perfect handling in simulated F4 Phantom fighter jets. Today, US Marine Infantry uses AV-8B Harrier II.
