	Originally the US military wanted nothing to do with guided missile carriers, but after the Yom Kippur War proved their viability, the US Army put out a contract for a vehicle that could deliver guided destruction to an enemy vehicle face. The M901 was the result of that contract, and a little over 3000 of them were built in the short time that it was in production. The M901 was used in Operation Desert Storm where it knocked out 14 Iraqi fighting vehicles. However the M901 ITV is an inherently defensive vehicle because of its light armor and inability to fire on the move. While these were not major problems against an expected Soviet armored offensive these drawbacks mean it has since been phased out of US service and replaced by the M2 and M3 Bradley Armored Fighting Vehicles, which also carry the same TOW missile alongside an autocannon.

	In US service, the M901 ITV was organized into anti-tank companies and attached to Mechanized Battalions. The three platoons of ITVs in the company would then be further divided into sections and attached to the Mechanized infantry platoons with roughly a two vehicle section of M901s per platoon. They were also employed in the scout platoon of Armored Cavalry regiments, with the platoon being made up of 3 M901 ITVs and 3 M113s.

			The M901s remaining in US inventory since 2005 were given to the Iraqis as military aid. [[FAIL\|The M901 was always despised in US service, because they were not especially well built and prone to constant failures of the sensor and fire control electronics and of the hydraulics of the pop-up missile launch tubes. They were regarded as a good idea badly executed and unreliable in the extreme.]]

	The M901 is a pretty sweet Tank Hunter. The Improved TOW Missile can smack foes with AT 21, Firepower 3+, up to 4 feet away. The ~~Tows guided~~ and HEAT, so you ignore the penalties for shooting at things beyond 16 inches. There is also the Hammerhead rule as an added bonus, which means that you can fire the missile and still be Gone to Ground. However, it cannot engage targets within 8 inches. Aside from the TOW, the ITV is also armed with a .30cal AA machine gun (somewhere).		The M901 is a pretty sweet Tank Hunter.

	In US service, the M901 ITV was organized ~~often~~ anti-tank companies and attached to Mechanized Battalions. The three platoons of ITVs in the company would then be further divided into sections and attached to the Mechanized infantry platoons with roughly a two vehicle section of M901s per platoon. They were also employed in the scout platoon of Armored Cavalry regiments, with the platoon being made up of 3 M901 ITVs and 3 M113s.
