Carrier, Personnel, Full-Tracked, Armored, M113, T113E2

The Ml13 armored personnel carrier is a standard evacuation vehicle. It is lightly armored to afford patient protection against small arms. Wearing the helmet inside the vehicle provides added protection, especially over rough terrain, due to the low silhouette. Movement of the tracks propels and steers the vehicle. It is highly maneuverable and capable of:

• Amphibious operations on inland lakes and streams.
• Extended cross-country travel over rough terrain.
• High-speed operations on improved roads and highways.

The vehicle can carry ten ambulatory patients and has a conversion kit which, when installed, gives a normal capacity of four litter patients.

A squad of four men is needed to load and unload the vehicle. The sequence for loading four litter patients is upper right, lower right, upper left, and lower left.

To install the litter suspension kit in the Ml13 ambulance, the span liner must be removed. Litter patients cannot be safely moved if the litter suspension kit is not installed.
