As the US Army's 2nd Armored Division prepared for its breakout from Normandy, France, they camouflaged most of their combat vehicles with a spray-painted pattern of earth-brown over the normal olive drab. Most of the white stars were also painted over, with the circled-star retained on the hood and the star on the radiator grill. The company letter and vehicle number is painted yellow on the side on the side of the hull and rear to make battlefield recognition easier.
The M3 half-track was an armored vehicle used by the United States, Great Britain, and Allies during World War II. It was developed from the M3 scout car as a personnel carrier. Many more uses became apparent by mounting a 37mm cannon with two .50 caliber machine guns, 75mm and 105mm cannons.
