The M113 OP isn't a specialized vehicle so much as a doctrinal specialty. While M113's are useful for ferrying soldiers to the frontlines, they're also useful for sneaking a single, smaller team out ahead of the army to spot targets for artillery, since most artillery pieces have ranges beyond line-of-sight and may want to fire from behind cover. Ideally the M113 would be concealed while its team disembarks to a nearby position to watch from. | |||
