Back when I did Chem OBC, they were still using the M113s with a mounted turbine to generate smoke. Didn't get to drive one, but we got to watch the trainer demonstrate it.

M1114s were a little before my time. My first platform in OSUT and at my first duty station in Hohenfels, GE, was M113A1s. I liked those things. While the heaters sucked and they could more than likely be penetrated by a .50cal round, they were quiet and I could always "sneak up" on the BLUEFOR during training rotations. Good times...

I believe what is pictured is an M114. I've seen many of them as targets on ranges, but never in actual service. As mech infantry I did spend a lot of time on M113s, the A1 and A2 versions. I prefer the lateral steering to that new steering the A3 version had. Near the end of my active service I did spend some time on Bradleys.
