15 YUMA PROVING GROUND, Ariz. The M113 Armored Personnel Carrier and its variants are iconic vehicles in mechanized infantry history.
First fielded in 1962, the M113 was ubiquitous during the conflict in Vietnam and has seen service in virtually every American military action in the ensuing decades.
