Armored Carrier Gives GIs Lift.
INFANTRYMEN get an armor-protected ride smack up to enemy nests in the Army's new personnel carrier. It takes the footsloggers right along with the tanks, protecting them from shrapnel and small- arms fire until they dismount for action. The squad-size (eight-man) T18E2 is handled by a driver who also serves >as gunner. Its .50-caliber machine-gun armament is for antiaircraft use. Fully tracked, it can go anywhere tanks can go and does better than 35 m.p.h. on good roads. Armor extends all around and also overhead, important for protection from the deadly proximity-fused shells that burst a few feet above the ground.

Troops dismount from carrier's double rear doors, above, to go into action as on opposite page.

Riflemen within armored vehicle find points of vantage at side ports, which may be fixed partly closed, as shown below, or opened wide.

Seating arrangement is shown below in photo made through wide-open rifle port. Six-cylinder Continental engine powers the carrier.
