The initial role of the self-propelled gun platoon was to seek out the enemy’s flanks and then set up in ambush positions to engage their tanks. Although the 75mm gun mounted on an M3 half-track was excellent for destroying Japanese tanks, these tactics were unsuited for fighting in the Pacific. The self-propelled gun platoon was more often used to destroy enemy bunkers and fortifications that were delaying the infantry, and they were usually attached to line regiments to provide extra firepower.
