M113A3 Armored Personnel Carrier (APC)
Operator: 4th Infantry Division
Location: Fort Carson, Colorado (USA)
Timeframe: 1991-1993

Personal Interest:
During my tour at Ft. Carson, Headquarters companies of the 4th Infantry Division (Mechanized) operated the venerable M113A3 armored personnel carrier (APC) as a command vehicle. I would typically deliver weather data to mission planners in a HQ M113A3. Although 4th Infantry did not deploy for Operation Desert Storm, the armor was nonetheless painted desert sand in case rapid deployment became necessary. M113A3 APCs were frequently operated on the Fort Carson reservation and the Piñon Canyon Maneuver Site for exercises.
