Huskie Platoon Vietnam
    Huskies were a marginal terrain vehicle that was made
    especially for the wet terrain and rice patties of Vietnam.  
    The M116 was a cargo carrier and the XM 733 was armor
    plated. The XM 733 was made as an escort vehicle for the
    cargo carriers. They were equipped with a automatic
    grenade launcher in the front, an M60 machine gun on
    each side, a 50 caliber machine gun in the middle, and a
    60 or 81 MM mortar tube in back (bed). They could go
    almost anywhere the foot troops could go. To my
    knowledge these vehicles doesn't exist anymore. The book
    will preserve the role these vehicles played in Vietnam. This
    is a story that needs to be told.
