Historical Overview of the M551 Sheridan

The M551 Sheridan is an American light combat vehicle introduced into service in the mid-1960s. It was designed as an infantry support vehicle utilizing an advanced 152mm gun-launcher, capable of firing both conventional ammunition and guided missiles. The Sheridan saw extensive use during the Vietnam conflict, later in the Panama intervention, and during Operation Desert Storm in 1991. Its operational period spanned the latter half of the Cold War, with its primary user being the United States.
