The M24 Chaffee tank was distributed to American Army units starting in 1944 to provide a lightweight tank on the battlefield capable of replacing the outdated M3/M5 Stuart. The M24’s configuration was significantly different from its predecessor, and its design proved to be highly effective, to the point that it is considered one of the best light tanks ever built. Agile, robust, and reliable, it was well-armed for a “Light Tank,” featuring an M6 75mm cannon with 48 rounds available. The tank's armament was complemented by two 12.7mm Browning machine guns. It was also effectively employed in close infantry support missions and advanced reconnaissance operations. During the conflict, effective cooperation was developed between M24 units and more heavily armed armored vehicles, such as the Sherman in its various versions.
