这 凯迪拉克盖奇突击队，经常被称为M706在美国服兵役，是美国装甲车设计为两栖。它是由凯迪拉克盖奇专门为美国宪兵队在越南战争期间作为武装车队护送车辆设计的。突击队是最早将装甲运兵车和常规装甲车的传统角色相结合的车辆之一，很像苏联的BTR-40。其显著的高度，两栖能力和防水发动机，使美国船员有效地战斗在越南丛林中，观察他们的对手在茂密的植被和福定该国的深河

General Characteristics and Role
The Cadillac Gage V-100 Commando is an American four-wheeled armored car that was developed in the early 1960s. Designed for the dual role of reconnaissance and internal security (counter-insurgency), the V-100 was characterized by its simple, rugged design and amphibious capability. It was one of the first successful post-war wheeled armored vehicles to be mass-exported worldwide, seeing extensive combat during the Vietnam War, where its mobility and light armor provided a significant advantage in escort and perimeter defense duties. The V-100’s primary feature is its V-shaped hull, which offers better protection against mine blasts compared to conventional flat hulls, though its armor protection against heavy weapons is limited.

Powerplant and Mobility
- Engine: 1 x Chrysler V8 gasoline engine (later models often upgraded to diesel).
- Power Output: 200 hp (149 kW).
- Maximum Speed (Road): 100 km/h (62 mph).
- Maximum Speed (Water): 4.8 km/h (3 mph) (Amphibious, propelled by wheels).
- Mobility: Permanent four-wheel drive and a short wheelbase provide high cross-country mobility. The vehicle is fully amphibious without special preparation.
Armament and Armor
- Armor: All-welded steel construction, providing protection against small arms fire and shell fragments.
- Primary Armament: Usually configured with an open-top turret mounting twin 7.62 mm machine guns (e.g., M73 or M60), or sometimes a combination of a 7.62 mm and a .50 cal (12.7 mm) heavy machine gun.
- Alternative Armament: Variants could be fitted with a larger turret housing a 20 mm cannon or 40 mm grenade launcher for heavier fire support.
- Legacy: The V-100 led to the development of the larger and more heavily armed V-150 and V-200 series, and its chassis layout continues to influence modern armored vehicle design.
