The M3 Scout Car was a four-wheel drive reconnaissance and patrol vehicle that saw service in World War II. It was produced by the White Motor Company from 1938 to 1944 and was used by various Allied forces, including the US Army, the British Army, the Free French Forces and the Red Army. The M3 Scout Car had a welded steel body with open top and rear, a front-mounted winch, a pintle-mounted machine gun and a crew of six to eight men.
Some M3 Scout Cars were converted into armored cars by adding additional armor plates, a turret with a heavier machine gun or a 37mm cannon, and sometimes a radio set. These conversions were done by field workshops or by specialized units such as the British Special Air Service (SAS) or the US Army Ordnance Corps. The converted M3 Scout Cars were used for reconnaissance, raiding, escorting and fire support missions. They had improved protection and firepower compared to the original M3 Scout Car, but they also had increased weight and reduced mobility.
El M3 Scout Car convertido en carro blindado era un vehículo versátil y adaptable que demostró ser útil en varios teatros de guerra. Era especialmente eficaz en la guerra en el desierto, donde su velocidad y alcance le permitían operar detrás de las líneas enemigas y hostigar las líneas de suministro enemigas. Sin embargo, también era vulnerable a las armas antitanque y a las minas, y carecía de la fiabilidad y la estandarización de los vehículos blindados especialmente diseñados.
