M20 Armored Utility Car

In 1943 the Tank Destroyer Command requested a vehicle that could be a command car, personnel and cargo carrier and mounted an AA multiple MG mount. The result was the M20 Armored Utility Car.

The M20 Armored Utility Car, also known as the M20 Scout Car, was a M8 Greyhound with the turret removed. This was replaced with a low, armoured open-topped superstructure and an anti-aircraft ring mount for a .50 cal M2 heavy machinegun.

The M20 utility is found in the US Tank Destroyer Platoon that can support most US companies from Festung Europa. The M20 provides transport and protection for the carbine team of each Tank Destroyer Section. A great improvement over the old jeeps the M20 allows the scouting elements of the Tank Destroyer Platoon greater security in their role of locating the enemy before springing an ambush with their M10s or M18s.
