White Military Halftrack

White Military Halftrack A place to share Pictures along with technical and mechanical information. Its sides were lightly armored for protection against shell fragments.

As modern armies became mechanized, they needed to find ways to transport material across uneven terrain. One solution, developed by several countries during World War II, was a truck with wheels in the front and tracks in the back to help drive it over rough country — the “half-track.”

The M3 Half-track was designed to transport soldiers as part of an armored advance. A back door provided easy e

ntry and exit. Half-tracks were armed with .30 or .50 caliber machine guns, which could provide fire support during an assault. These vehicles were also used to haul supplies, evacuate the wounded and act as mobile communication bases. Statistics
