description: The M113 is a fully tracked armored personnel carrier (APC) that was
|
|
developed and produced by the Food Machinery and Chemical Corporation (FMC). The
|
|
M113 was sent to United States Army Europe to replace the mechanized infantry's
|
|
M59 APCs from 1961. The M113 was first used in combat in April 1962 after the United
|
|
States provided the South Vietnamese Army (ARVN) with heavy weaponry such as the
|
|
M113, under the Military Assistance Command, Vietnam (MACV) program. Eventually,
|
|
the M113 was the most widely used armored vehicle of the U.S. Army in the Vietnam
|
|
War and was used to break through heavy thickets in the midst of the jungle to attack
|
|
and overrun enemy positions. About 80.000 have been build.
