It entered service with the United States Army just after the end of World War II and was widely used during the Korean War (1950-1953). Its primary mission was to combat heavy enemy armor and to attack fortified positions. It was successfully used in the harsh climate of Korea, where its robust construction and improved mobility were highly valued by its crews.
