Item #35135

Description

The M113 is a fully tracked armored personnel carrier that was
developed by FMC. The vehicle was first fielded by the United
States Army's mechanized infantry units in Vietnam in April 1962.
The M113 was the most widely used armored vehicle of the U.S.
Army in the Vietnam War, earning the nickname 'Green Dragon' by
the Viet Cong as it was used to break through heavy thickets in
the midst of the jungle to attack and overrun enemy positions. It
was largely known as an "APC" or an "ACAV" (armored cavalry
assault vehicle) by the allied forces.
