Description
The interior of a M113 Armoured Personnel Carrier used by 2 Troop, B Squadron, 3 Cavalry Regiment. The M113 Armoured Personnel Carrier was designed to safely transport troops and had multi-terrain capacity. The vehicle was first introduced to Australian troops in South Vietnam in 1965. However, the initial design was found to be ineffective and the fleet was retrospectively fitted with M74C and T50 turrets.
