About the M3A1 Half Track - Armored Personnel Carrier:

The M3A1 Half Track was the main troop transport vehicle for the US Army during World War II and the Korean War. This vehicle was designed to carry an entire rifle squad and their equipment, often towing a trailer with fuel, water, or ammunition.

The M3A1 was the most advanced version of the M3 half track family of personnel carriers with 40,000 of all types manufactured during World War II.
