Are there any M113A2s in iraq or are they all now M113A3s? If so does anyone have some good pics.

Thanks,
Evan

Yes, there are M113A2 versions still around. There were quite a few in the initial invasion that 3 ID drew from Pre-Positioned Stocks in Kuwait and from Deigo Garcia as well.

JUst note though, Academy and Tamiya both are confused. An A2 does not have the external fuel tanks on them. In the US Army, only A3s have the external fuel tanks.

I am in 2nd BDE 3rd ID and I know that we took M113A3's over this last time. I know that some of the Iraqi Army units are running around on A2's. Not sure what US units currently would have A2's.
