The M113 Amoured personal carrier is a light troop transport developed in the 60s as a way to ferry troops to the battlefield in an armoured carriage which would improve troop survivability. other roles would include aiding dismounted troops by providing suppressive fire and other secondary duties such as Logistic transport or even medevac. Its Chassis is easy to maintain and add on weapons which means one chassis is able to fit the roles of many variants from command and control to anti air missile battery to a mortar carrier.

The M113 can hold up to 10 people, 2 crew and 8 troops in the rear. a ramp at the back allows for easy dismounts and a large roof hatch above the passenger compartment provides both fresh air and the ability for 2 light machine gunners to take up position and cover the vehicle flanks with extra weapons. The main gun for this variant is a single M134 &.62mm Rotary minigun firing up to 6000 rounds a minute. this is mounted on a semi exposed, rotating turret with 2x 16 smoke launchers on its sides, giving this apc an unusually high offensive capability.
The M113 is amphibious, able to traverse relatively calm bodies of water at a slow pace of 11km/h.
