VN144 “Australian Army M113” (Two Niner Juliet)

This particular M113 bears the call sign, “Two Niner Juliet” and would belong to the Troop Sergeant. At this time an M113 Troop comprised 3 sections of 3 vehicles plus a headquarters section that contained 4 vehicles and would include both the Troop Leader, usually a captain, in “Two Zero Alpha” and his second-in-command. (a Lieutenant or 2^nd Lieutenant) in “Two Zero Bravo”.

The last of the 4 x M113s would be “Two Niner Mike”... the Ambulance version of the Personnel Carrier.

“Two Niner Juliet” also has two original crew figures operating the vehicle.
