ACAV was coined by GI's in Vietnam in 1965 when the M113 APC (Armored Personnel Carrier) was fielded there. Armor plate was installed around the track commanders hatch, plus two gun shields for a machinegun on each side of towards the rear of the machine. In addition, a strip of extra steel was bolted onto the bottom from the front towards the rear...this was for extra protection from land mines. Together, this was called an "ACAV set", short for Armored Cavalry Assault Vehicle. The original designers and the US Army did NOT like this set up. They had designed the M113 to be a battle taxi...not a tank. By converting the M113 into an ACAV, the GI's had in effect, made the M113 a light tank. However, it was so successful in Vietnam, that the US Army finally accepted the idea...but after the war... went quickly back to just the plain M113 APC. The US Air Force, US Army, and the US Navy quickly re-painted or destroyed/replaced nearly all of their Vietnam War machines (Jets, Armored Vehicles, Swift Boats) when the war ended; wanting to forget Vietnam and move on with non-Vietnam related military hardware.
