Jeeps during WWII and Korea – Mike's Research

In 1952, the 17th Infantry Regiment, US 7th Infantry Division (IX Corps), created this one of a kind armored Jeep. It was used to supplement their Intelligence and Reconnaissance (I&R) platoon. The IX Corps sector was along the DMZ against the hilly countryside around the Iron Triangle area of Cheorwon, Kumhwa, and Pyongyang.

The Jeep’s armament was a M20 75mm Recoilless Rifle and three Browning .30 Cal M1919A4 light machine guns. The registration number “USA 5683059” starts with “5” which is for trucks over 5 ton and prime movers. For a Jeep, the first number would be a “2”.
