The Marmon-Herrington CTLS was a US light tank produced for the export market at the start of the Second World War. The vehicle had a crew of two and was armed with three .30 caliber Browning machine guns: one in a revolving turret and the others in the bow under the control of the driver.
A few saw combat in the Dutch East Indies campaign against the Japanese invasion. In mid-1942 a batch was diverted to Australia from the Dutch order where they were used for training.
After the attack on Pearl Harbor some of these tanks were taken over by the US Marines and employed in Northern Alaska as the T14 and T15.
