The M113 First entered service in 1960 and has remained in use ever since. Currently, over 6000 M113s are in use in the United States, with thousands more in other nations. The M113 is finally being phased out by the Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle, a derivative cousin of the Bradley Fighting Vehicle. However, even then it is likely that some M113s will remain in use with the USA and other countries for years to come.

Simplicity and flexibility have always been the 113's best qualities. During the Cold War many M113s were repurposed as various support vehicles, such as [[M901 ITV|AT Missile]] [[M150 TOW|Carriers]], [[M106 Heavy Mortar Carrier|mortar]] [[M125 81mm|carriers]], [[M163 VADS|anti-air guns]], [[M48 Chaparral|Air-Defense]] [[ADATS| Missile]] [[Tracked Rapier|carriers]], and [[Lynx Reconnaissance Patrol|Recon]] [[M113 MRV|Vehicles]]. If there was a role, there was an M113 variant performing it. 

Unfortunately, until recent years it was also cursed with mindless fanboys who called it the Gavin, a term made up by a drop-out of both the USMC and Army Reserves who screamed it so much that Wikipedia had to shut him up with an entire section debunking his nonsense. [[bullshit|He and his dumb ass followers believe that the platform is just as capable as the upgraded Bradley and superior to just about any wheeled APC.]] [[Fail|Never mind that its armor can be defeated by anti-material rifles, heavy machine guns, and possibly sustained fire from a LMG.]]  

Given its appearance, M113 model kits are sometimes used as proxies for 40k [[Rhino Transport|Rhino]]s or for [[Ork]] [[Looted Wagon]]s.
