V M39 Armored Utility Vehicle was a versatile and adaptable vehicle that served in various roles during World War II and the Korean War. It was based on the chassis of the M18 Hellcat tank destroyer, which was modified to accommodate a crew of three and up to eight passengers. The M39 was designed to tow the 3-inch Gun M6, a powerful antitank weapon that could penetrate most enemy armor. The M39 could also be used as a command and reconnaissance vehicle, equipped with radios and an auxiliary generator. The M39 had a .50 caliber machine gun for self-defense, and could carry additional weapons and ammunition. The M39 had a top speed of 50 mph and a range of 100 miles on road. It had a torsion bar suspension and a Continental radial gasoline engine that produced 400 hp.
M39 je bil ob koncu druge svetovne vojne v Evropi omejen, vendar so ga v Koreji pogosto uporabljali tako ameriška vojska kot ameriški marinci. M39 se je izkazal za uporabnega za prevoz vojakov in zalog, evakuacijo žrtev in zagotavljanje ognjene podpore. M39 je bil vpleten tudi v nekatere najhujše bitke vojne, kot so Heartbreak Ridge, Old Baldy in Boulder City. M39 je bil pohvaljen zaradi svoje zanesljivosti, mobilnosti in prilagodljivosti. Sčasoma so ga nadomestila novejša vozila, kot sta M59 APC in M75 APC v poznih 1950-ih.
