I am presuming the US still uses M-113s in Iraq, although to my knowledge they are no longer used in front line roles. I have a Tammy M-113 desert version and am wondering what would be a realistic setting for an M-113 in OIF.

Depends on how you define frontline roles. The M-113 is still used by engineers and as an armoured ambulance and as C2I vehicles. Pretty sure you will find several other configurations as well in Iraq.

I saw one of those OIF medical shows where they where loading an 113 not sure of the model type, but I know it did NOT have a red and white target on the side.
