M2A3 75mm Field Gun with Crew

 In 1941, field artillery units began converting to the new 105mm M2 Howitzer, and some M1897s were removed from their towed carriages and installed on the half-track M3 Gun Motor Carriage (GMC). The towed version and the M3 GMC was used by American Tank Destroyer battalions during operations in the North African and Italian campaigns. M3 GMCs were also used in the Pacific theater during the Philippines campaign and by Marine Regimental Weapons Companies until 1944. Their performance in an anti-tank role was adequate against Japanese and Italian armor but inadequate against late war German armor. M3 GMCs remained in use with the British in Italy and North West Europe in small numbers until the end of the war. Towed guns were also used for training and on March 8, 1945, they were declared obsolete and retired. In total, 1,250 units were produced.
