Armor
History: The first fully armored car was acquired in 1915 by the United States Army, at a time when considerable experimentation had been done by Britain, France and Russia. In 1928 the first armored car unit of the U.S. Army was organized at Fort Myer, Virginia. Wide experience with all types of armor in World War II confirmed the superiority of the full-tracked over the wheeled fighting vehicle. The result indicates the assignment to the light tank of the role formerly held by the armored car. The armored car is still in use as a training vehicle, well adapted to occupation and internal security uses. Its position in the combat picture is fading. Hint: Great unit for conducting ground campaigns. Specifications:
