M8 Light Armored Car
607th Tank Destroyer Battalion. The M8 Light Armored Car (6x6) had a 37mm gun as the primary weapon and a secondary .50 or .30 machine gun along with both long and short range radios. They operated with a crew of four, a commander, gunner, radio operator and driver. It had a top speed of 57mph on-road. This one is being used by the reconnaissance company. Note the whitewash on both vehicles and the chains on the M8. I've read several accounts regarding the M8 and they indicate that the vehicle wasn't that good for cross country travel.
