In the US Army the M113 has already been phased out, but a number of units still serve as utility vehicles. Over 80,000 M113s of all types have been used around the world, as such the vehicle is considered the most widespread armoured carrier ever produced. The M113 had many modifications adapted for the use in various countries. The carrier featured aluminium armour that significantly reduced its weight, improved its amphibious performance, and also was able to stop small arms fire. The most extensively deployed armoured carrier of the US Army in Vietnam, the M113 was nicknamed 'Green Dragon' by Viet Cong as it was able to move through thick undergrowth and jungle in order to attack enemy positions. The M113 is an American armoured personnel carrier (APC) that was introduced in the 1960's and first saw action with the US Army during the Vietnam War.
