FLC GUN TRUCKS NAM

The FLC Gun Trucks were an innovative and vital component of U.S. Marine Corps logistics operations during the Vietnam War. FLC (Force Logistics Command) Gun Trucks were standard cargo vehicles, such as 2½-ton or 5-ton trucks, modified with armor plating and mounted machine guns—often M60s or .50-caliber Brownings—to protect convoys from ambushes along dangerous supply routes. These ad-hoc gun trucks were crewed by determined Marines who provided mobile firepower and rapid response against Viet Cong and North Vietnamese Army attacks, especially during convoy operations to areas like Da Nang and Chu Lai. The FLC Gun Trucks exemplified Marine adaptability and played a crucial role in ensuring the safe delivery of supplies and personnel throughout I Corps in South Vietnam.
