Most US Army infantry divisions deployed to Korea had an AAA battalion consisting of eight M15A1 combination gun motor carriages (CGMC) and eight M16 MGMCs. These were very occasionally used in their intended role of air defense in the first weeks of the war against the North Korean Peoples Army Yak-9 and Il-10 attack aircraft. However, once the latter had been destroyed by the autumn of 1950, the half-tracks were sent forward to provide direct infantry fire support with their deadly quad M45D 0.50-cal machine guns. The M16 MGMC’s high rate of fire made it an ideal anti-personnel weapon against massed communist infantry attacks.
