M113A1 Armored Personnel Carrier (U.S.A.)

The M113 is a fully tracked armored personnel carrier that was developed and produced by the Food Machinery and Chemical Corporation. 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 with heavy weaponry such as the M113, under the Military Assistance Command, Vietnam program.
