Colour : Green The M3 half-track was an American armored personnel carrier half-track widely used by the Allies during World War II and in the Cold War. Derived from the M2 half-track, the M3 was widely produced, with approximately 15,000 standard M3s and over 38,000 variant units. The M3 was extensively modified with several dozen variant designs produced for various purposes. During World War II, the M3 and its variants were supplied to the US Army and Marines, as well as British Commonwealth and Soviet Red Army troops, serving on all major fronts throughout the war. The M3 and its variants were produced by many manufacturers, including Diamond T, White Motor Company and Autocar. They were adapted for a wide variety of applications, such as a self-propelled anti-aircraft gun or self-propelled artillery. Although initially unpopular due to the lack of significant armor or a roof to protect the crew from shrapnel, it was used by most of the Allies during the war. In the Cold War era, the vehicle was used by a variety of state and non-state operators in conflicts in South America, the Middle East, Africa and Asia, and remained in service until the mid-1990s.
