Historical background

The LCM(3) was widely used by the United States (USA) and Allied forces during the most important amphibious operations of World War II. It was designed to transport tanks, vehicles, and infantry directly onto the shoreline. The M4A1 Sherman, equipped with the Deep Wading Kit, could leave the craft independently and cross shallow waters, which was crucial during the Normandy landings on June 6, 1944 (D-Day).
