Cadillac Gage Commando
Country	USA
Role	Armored car
Designed	June 1962
Built	3200+

The Cadillac Gage Commando, frequently denoted as the M706 in US military service, was an American armored car designed to be amphibious.

The Commando was one of the first vehicles to combine the traditionally separate roles of an armored personnel carrier and a conventional armored car, much like the Soviet BTR-40. Its notable height, amphibious capability, and waterproofed engine allowed American crews to fight effectively in the jungles of Vietnam by observing their opponents over thick vegetation and fording the country’s deep rivers
