 US Armour in Vietnam - the M113 and variants - Part 1
Known as the "Green dragon" to the VC in the early stages of the war, the M113 was destined to become one of the most successful armored vehicles of all time, seeing action in Vietnam on a country-wide scale from the DMZ to the Delta.
Despite being designed as an armored infantry vehicle to be used for carrying mechanized infantry into combat with armored columns of M-48's and M-60 main battle tanks on the plains of Europe, the ARVN units started using them as armored infantry combat vehicles in their own right.
Although the M-113 was initially designed to carry a full 10 man rifle squad in addition to the two-man crew, the Cav doctrine was actually to fight directly from the vehicle on the move and it was intended not to dismount the infantry unless in extremis.
