An Armored Vehicle-Launched Bridge (AVLB) is a military engineering vehicle adapted from tank platforms to deploy portable bridges in combat. The US version featured here was developed in the early 1950s. It is based on the M48 Patton and features a 60 foot scissors bridge capable of supporting tracked vehicles up to the weight of the M60. This design was later transferred to the M60, both were used during Vietnam and continued in service for many years afterward.

It was a key battleground in the Cold War, seen by some as a fight against the spread of communism, while others viewed it as an unjust intervention in Vietnam's struggle for self-determination. Many Vietnam veterans, drafted as teenagers and thrust into unfamiliar jungles, fought a well-prepared enemy skilled in guerrilla tactics. Despite these overwhelming challenges, American forces won every major battle. However, the political decision to withdraw led to the perception that the war was lost, much like the recent U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. Tragically, Vietnam veterans paid a heavy price, both on the battlefield and after returning home. To add insult to injury, veterans returned to a hostile environment, facing protests, harassment, and neglect. Despite this, their courage and sacrifice have since been recognized, and they played a crucial role in ensuring that future veterans, from Iraq to Afghanistan, were welcomed home with the respect they deserve. The legacy of Vietnam veterans is one of bravery, resilience, and valor, cemented in the history of American freedom.

Designed for the airborne forces, it features a 90mm M54 gun and a crew of four. Although lacking protection and not amphibious, it was notable for its mobility and firepower.
