The '''M3 Stuart'''/'''light tank M3,''' was an American [[light tank]] of [[World War II]]. An improved version of the tank entered service as the M5 in 1942 to be supplied to British and other [[Commonwealth of Nations|Commonwealth]] forces under [[lend-lease]] prior to the entry of the U.S. into the war. Afterwards, it was used by U.S. and [[Allies of World War II|Allied]] forces until the end of the war.

The British service name "Stuart" came from the [[American Civil War]] [[Confederate States of America|Confederate]] general [[J. E. B. Stuart]] and was used for both the M3 and the derivative M5 light tank. Unofficially, they were also often called "Honeys" by the British, because of their smooth ride.<ref>((cite web|title=Light Tank M3 Stuart|url=https://tanks-encyclopedia.com/ww2/us/m3_stuart.php|date=28 November 2014|access-date=5 May 2021))</ref> In U.S. use, the tanks were officially known as "light tank M3" and "light tank M5".

Stuarts were first used in combat in the [[North African campaign]]; about 170 were used by the British forces in [[Operation Crusader]] (18 November – 30 December 1941). Stuarts were the first American-crewed tanks in World War II to engage the enemy in tank versus tank combat when used in the [[Philippines campaign (1941–1942)|Philippines]] in December 1941 against the Japanese.<ref>Hunnicutt (Stuart) p. 395</ref><ref>Zaloga (Armored Thunderbolt) p. 301</ref> Outside of the Pacific War, in later years of WWII the M3 was used for reconnaissance and screening.

==Development==
[[File:M3A1 Light Tank.jpg|alt=An M3 going through water obstacle, Ft. Knox, Ky.|thumb|left|An M3 going through water obstacle, Ft. Knox, Ky.]]
Observing events in Europe and Asia during [[World War II]], American tank designers realized that the [[M2 light tank|light tank M2]] was becoming obsolete and set about improving it. The upgraded design, with thicker [[vehicle armour|armor]], modified suspension and new gun [[recoil]] system was called "light tank M3". Production of the vehicle started in March 1941 and continued until October 1943.

By the standards of the era for light tanks, the Stuart was fairly heavily armored. It had 38&nbsp;mm of armor on the upper front hull, 44&nbsp;mm on the lower front hull, 51&nbsp;mm on the gun mantlet, 38&nbsp;mm on the turret sides, 25&nbsp;mm on the hull sides, and 25&nbsp;mm on the hull rear.<ref name="Zaloga 1999, p. 31">Zaloga 1999, p. 31</ref> Like its direct predecessor, the M2A4, the M3 was initially armed with a [[37 mm Gun M3|37 mm M5 gun]] and five [[.30-06 Springfield|.30-06]] [[M1919 Browning machine gun|Browning M1919A4]] machine guns: one coaxial with the main gun, one on top of the [[gun turret|turret]] in an M20 anti-aircraft mount, another in a ball mount in right bow, and two more in the right and left hull [[sponson]]s. Later, the main gun was replaced with the slightly longer M6, and the sponson machine guns were removed.

The '''M3''' and '''M3A1''' variants were powered by an [[Air-cooled engine|air-cooled]] [[radial engine]], either a [[Petrol engine|gasoline-fueled]] 7-[[Cylinder (engine)|cylinder]] [[Continental R-670|Continental W-670]] (8,936 built) or a 9-cylinder [[Guiberson A-1020|Guiberson T-1020]] [[Diesel engine|diesel]] (1,496 built).<ref>Hunnicutt (Stuart) p. 127 and p. 153</ref> Both of these powerplants were originally developed as [[aircraft engine]]s. Internally, the radial engine was at the rear and the [[Transmission (mechanics)|transmission]] at the front of the tank's hull. The propeller shaft connecting the engine and transmission ran through the middle of the fighting compartment. The radial engine's crankshaft was positioned high off the hull bottom and contributed to the tank's relatively tall profile.<ref>((Book-Fletcher-Great Tank Scandal|page= ))</ref> When a revolving turret floor was introduced in the M3 hybrid and M3A1, the crew had less room. A further 3,427 M3A3 variants were built with modified hull (similar to the M5), new turret and the Continental W-670 gasoline engine.<ref>Hunnicutt (Stuart) p. 164</ref> In contrast to the M2A4, all M3/M5 series tanks had a trailing rear idler wheel for increased ground contact, whereas on the M2 the idler wheel was off the ground and did not aid in suspension.

===M5 Stuart===
[[File:Coburg1945.jpg|thumb|M5A1 Crews from Company D, [[761st Tank Battalion (United States)|761st Tank Battalion]], stand by awaiting call to clean out scattered German machine gun nests in [[Coburg]], Germany]]
To relieve wartime demand for the radial aero-engines used in the M3, a new version was developed using twin [[Cadillac V8 engine#Monobloc|Cadillac V8]] automobile engines and twin [[Hydramatic|Hydra-Matic]] transmissions operating through a [[transfer case]]. This version of the tank was quieter, cooler and roomier; the [[automatic transmission]] also simplified crew training. The new model (initially called M4 but redesignated M5 to avoid confusion with the [[M4 Sherman]]<ref>Zaloga (M3/M5 Stuart) p. 17</ref>) featured a redesigned hull with a raised rear deck over the engine compartment, sloped [[glacis]] plate and driver's hatches moved to the top. Although the main criticism from units using the Stuarts was that it lacked firepower, the improved M5 series kept the same 37&nbsp;mm gun. The M5 gradually replaced the M3 in production from 1942 and, after the [[Medium Tank M7|M7 project]] proved unsatisfactory, was succeeded by the [[M24 Chaffee|light tank M24]] in 1944. Total M5 and M5A1 tank production was 8,884; an additional 1,778 [[Howitzer Motor Carriage M8|M8 75 mm howitzer motor carriages]] based on the M5 chassis with an open-top turret were produced.

==Light-tank doctrine==

Light tanks were issued to tank battalions (one of the four companies was a light tank company), light tank battalions and cavalry reconnaissance squadrons. The original role of the light tank in these formations was similar to medium tanks and they were expected to engage enemy armor with AP rounds and enemy positions with HE rounds. As a result, tank gunnery training for light and medium tankers was common.<ref>[https://ia800303.us.archive.org/25/items/Fm17-12/Fm17-12.pdf Armored Force Field Manual FM 17-12], Tank Gunnery, April 22, 1943 p. 18-19</ref>

US Army Field Manuals written before 1944 clearly show that light tanks were to be part of an armored assault on enemy positions, and examples of fire on enemy armor were in these manuals.<ref>[https://archive.org/download/FM17-301942/FM17-301942.pdf Armored Force Field Manual FM 17-30], Tank Platoon, October 22, 1942, p 44</ref> When pursuing an enemy, light tank battalions were expected to move parallel with enemy columns and, together with accompanying infantry and engineer units, seize "critical terrain that will block hostile retreat".<ref>[https://archive.org/download/Fm17-33/Fm17-33.pdf Armored Force Field Manual FM 17-33] The Armored Battalion – Light and Medium, September 18, 1942, p 112</ref> Despite the fact that light tank platoons were not expected to function as a reconnaissance unit, they could be used for reconnaissance purposes.<ref>Armored Force Field Manual FM 17-30 Tank Platoon, October 22, 1942, p 55-56</ref> In this role, they were expected to remain behind the main reconnaissance force as the support element and augment the firepower whenever enemy contact was made.<ref>[https://archive.org/download/Fm2-301944/Fm2-301944.pdf Cavalry Field Manual FM 2-30], Cavalry Reconnaissance Squadron, Mechanized,  August 28, 1944, p. 2</ref>

===War in North Africa and Europe===
British and other Commonwealth armies were the first to use the light tank M3, as the "Stuart", in combat.<ref>Hunnicutt (1992) p. 391</ref> From mid-November 1941 to the end of the year, about 170 Stuarts (in a total force of over 700 tanks) took part in [[Operation Crusader]] during the [[North Africa Campaign]], with poor results. This is despite the fact that the M3 was superior or comparable in most regards to most of the tanks used by the Axis forces. The most numerous German tank, the [[Panzer III]] Ausf G, had nearly identical armor and speed to the M3,((efn|>the M3 actually had thicker front and turret armor, while the Panzer III had slightly thicker side armor.)) and both tanks' guns could penetrate the other tank's front armor from beyond ((convert |1,000 |m|abbr=on)).((sfn|Zaloga| 1999|p=10)) The most numerous Italian tank (and second most numerous Axis tank overall), the [[Fiat M13/40]], was much slower than the Stuart, had slightly weaker armor all around, and could not penetrate the Stuart's front hull or turret armor at 1,000 meters, whereas the Stuart's gun could penetrate any spot on the M13/40. Although the high losses suffered by Stuart-equipped units during the operation had more to do with the better tactics and training of the ''[[Afrika Korps]]'' than the apparent superiority of [[German combat vehicles of World War II|German armored fighting vehicles]] used in the North African campaign,((sfn|Zaloga| 1999|p=10)) the operation revealed that the M3 had several technical faults. Mentioned in the British complaints were the 37&nbsp;mm M5 gun and poor internal layout. The two-man turret crew was a significant weakness, and some British units tried to fight with three-man turret crews. The Stuart also had a limited range, which was a severe problem in the highly mobile [[desert warfare]] as units often outpaced their supplies and were stranded when they ran out of fuel.
On the positive side, crews liked its relatively high speed and mechanical reliability, especially compared to the [[Crusader tank]],<ref>Zaloga (M3/M5 Stuart) p. 9-12</ref><ref>Hunnicutt (Stuart) p. 391–394</ref> which comprised a large portion of the British tank force in Africa up until 1942. The Crusader had similar armament and armor to the Stuart while being slower, less reliable, and several tons heavier. The Stuart also had the advantage of a gun that could deliver high-explosive shells; HE shells were not available for the 40&nbsp;mm [[Ordnance QF 2-pounder|QF 2-pdr gun]] mounted by most Crusaders, severely limiting their use against emplaced anti-tank guns or infantry;.<ref name="Ian Hogg page 138-139">Ian Hogg (1996), ''Tank Killing'', page 138-139, Sidgwick & Jackson ((ISBN|1-885119-40-2))</ref>((efn|however, by late 1942, the Crusader received the 57 mm [[Ordnance QF 6-pounder|QF 6-pdr gun]], significantly improving its anti-tank characteristics and giving it HE capability((citation needed|date=September 2021)) )) The main drawback of the Stuart was its low fuel capacity and range; its operational range was only ((convert|75| mile|abbr=on)) cross country,((sfn|Zaloga| 1999|p=31)) roughly half that of the Crusader.

In the summer of 1942, the British usually kept Stuarts out of tank-to-tank combat, using them primarily for reconnaissance. The turret was removed from some examples to save weight and improve speed and range. These became known as "Stuart Recce". Some others were converted to [[armored personnel carrier]]s known as the "Stuart [[Kangaroo (armoured personnel carrier)|Kangaroo]]", and some were converted into command vehicles and known as "Stuart Command". M3s, M3A3s, and M5s continued in British service until the end of the war, but British units had a smaller proportion of these light tanks than U.S. units.((citation needed|date=March 2021))

====Eastern Front====
The other major [[Lend-Lease]] recipient of the M3, the [[Soviet Union]], was less happy with the tank, considering it under-gunned, under-armored, likely to catch fire, and too sensitive to fuel quality. The M3's radial aircraft engine required high-octane fuel, which complicated Soviet logistics as most of their tanks used [[Diesel fuel|diesel]] or low-octane fuel. High fuel consumption led to a poor range characteristic, especially sensitive for use as a reconnaissance vehicle. Also, compared to Soviet tanks, the M3's narrower tracks resulted in a higher ground pressure, getting them more easily stuck in the ''[[Rasputitsa]]'' muddy conditions of spring and autumn and [[Russian Winter|winter snow]] conditions on the Eastern Front. In 1943, the [[Red Army]] tried out the M5 and decided that the upgraded design was not much better than the M3. Being less desperate than in 1941, the Soviets turned down an American offer to supply the M5. M3s continued in Red Army service at least until 1944.((citation needed|date=March 2021))

====Italy====
One of the more successful uses of the M5 in combat came during the [[Battle of Anzio]] when breaking through German forces surrounding the beachhead. The tactics called for an initial breakthrough by a medium tank company to destroy the heavier defenses, followed by an infantry battalion who would attack the German troops who were being left behind the medium tanks. Since many hidden fortifications and positions would have survived the initial medium tank assault, the infantry would then be confronted by any remaining fortified German troops. Behind the infantry came the M5s of a light tank company, who would attack these positions when directed to by the Infantry, usually by the use of green [[smoke grenades]].<ref>[http://cgsc.cdmhost.com/cdm/singleitem/collection/p4013coll8/id/4676/rec/50 Training memorandum number 2: lessons from the Italian Campaign] ((Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200127213401/http://cgsc.cdmhost.com/cdm/singleitem/collection/p4013coll8/id/4676/rec/50 |date=2020-01-27 )), page 47 of 162, March 1945</ref>

In the 1944 Liri Valley campaign, the official history of the [[18th Battalion (New Zealand)]] notes that in the campaign (a war of movement) the regiment discovered that the Stuart recce tanks were an enormous advance on scout cars, and could go where not even jeeps could go. They carried commanders and engineers, and medical orderlies, and they could explore flanks while the Shermans forged ahead. They carried mobile wireless links and transported supplies up hilltops; they had a dozen different uses.<ref>((cite web|url= https://nzetc.victoria.ac.nz/tm/scholarly/tei-WH2-18Ba-c33.html |title= Beyond the Liri (page 491) |publisher=  NZETC |date= 2023))</ref>

===Pacific and Asia===

The [[United States Army|U.S. Army]] initially deployed 108 Stuart light tanks to the Philippines in September 1941, equipping the U.S. Army's [[149th Armor Regiment#194th Tank Battalion|194th]] and [[192nd Tank Battalion]]s. The first U.S. tank versus tank combat to occur in World War II happened on 22 December 1941  during the [[Philippines campaign (1941–1942)]] when a platoon of five M3s led by Lieutenant Ben R. Morin engaged the Imperial Japanese Army (IJA) 4th Tank Regiment's [[Type 95 Ha-Go]] light tanks north of Damortis. Lt. Morin, with his 37mm cannon locked in recoil maneuvered his M3 off the road, but took a direct hit while doing so, and his tank began to burn. The other four M3s were also hit, but managed to leave the field under their own power. Lt. Morin was wounded, and he and his crew were captured by the enemy.<ref>Hunnicutt (Stuart) p. 395 & 396</ref> M3s of the 194th and 192nd Tank Battalions continued to [[skirmish]] with the 4th Tank Regiment's tanks as they continued their retreat down the [[Battle of Bataan|Bataan]] Peninsula, with the last tank versus tank combat occurring on 7 April 1942.<ref>Zaloga, (M3/M5 Stuart) p. 13, 14</ref><ref>Zaloga (Armored Thunderbolt) p. 301 & 302</ref>

As the Japanese 15th Army was threatening southern Burma toward the end of February 1942, [[7th Armoured Brigade (United Kingdom)|7th Armoured Brigade]] of the British Army landed at Rangoon with 114 M-3 Stuarts bearing the green rodent of the "Desert Rats".

Due to the naval nature of the Pacific campaign, steel for warship production took precedence over tanks for the IJA,<ref>Zaloga (Japanese Tanks) p. 15</ref> creating by default an IJA light tank that performed admirably in the jungle terrain of the South Pacific. By the same measure, although the US was not hampered by industrial restrictions, the U.S. M3 light tank proved to be an effective armored vehicle for fighting in jungle environments.<ref>Zaloga (M3/M5 Stuart) p. 33</ref> At least one was captured in the Philippines.<ref name="Captured Stuart">((Cite web|url=http://www.ww2incolor.com/d/575273-2/philippinescapturedstuazq1|title=Captured Stuart|access-date=2011-06-12|archive-date=2021-07-28|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210728141503/http://www.ww2incolor.com/d/575273-2/philippinescapturedstuazq1|url-status=dead))</ref>

With the IJA's drive toward India within the [[South-East Asian theatre of World War II]], the United Kingdom hastily withdrew their [[2nd Royal Tank Regiment]] and [[7th Queen's Own Hussars|7th Hussars]] Stuart tank units (which also contained some [[M2 light tank|M2A4 light tanks]]<ref>Hunnicutt (Stuart) p.396</ref>) from North Africa, and deployed them against the Japanese 14th Tank Regiment. By the time the Japanese had been stopped at [[Imphal]], only one British Stuart remained operational.<ref>Zaloga ((page needed|date=June 2014))</ref> When the U.S. entered the war in 1941, it began to supply China with AFVs, including M3 Stuarts, and later M4 Sherman [[medium tank]]s and [[M18 Hellcat]] [[tank destroyer]]s, which trickled in through Burma.

Although the U.S. light tanks had proven effective in jungle warfare, by late 1943, U.S. Marine Corps tank battalions were transitioning from their M3/M5 light tanks to M4 medium tanks, mostly for the much greater high-explosive blast effect of the M4's 75mm gun, which fired a much larger shell with a heavier explosive payload.<ref>Zaloga (M3/M5 Stuart) p. 34</ref>

===Obsolescence and replacement===
When the U.S. Army joined the North African Campaign in late 1942, Stuart units still formed a large part of its armor strength. After the disastrous [[Battle of Kasserine Pass]], the U.S. quickly followed the British in disbanding most of their light tank [[battalion]]s and reorganizing medium tank battalions to include one company of light tanks, where the Stuarts mostly performed the traditional cavalry missions of scouting and screening; for the rest of the war, most U.S. tank battalions had three [[company (military unit)|companies]] of M4 Shermans and one company of M3s or M5/M5A1s.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.militaryresearch.org/17-25%2018Nov44.pdf|title=T/O&E 17–25 Tank Battalion (18 November 1944)|access-date=18 June 2016 |work=militaryresearch.org))</ref>
[[File:MundaTankMine.jpg|thumb|A Marine Captain inspects an un-exploded [[Type 99 mine]] attached to his M3A1 Stuart during the [[Battle of Munda Point]] in August, 1943]]

In Europe, Allied light tanks were given cavalry and infantry fire support roles since their light main armament was not competitive against heavier enemy armored fighting vehicles. However, the Stuart was still effective in combat in the [[Pacific Theatre of World War II|Pacific Theater]], as [[List of Japanese tanks and armoured vehicles of the WWII period|Japanese tanks]] were both relatively rare and were lighter in armor than even Allied light tanks.<ref>Hunnicutt (Stuart) p. 475 M2A4 had 1" thick armor/p. 478 M3 had 1((fraction|1|4))" thick armor</ref><ref>Zaloga (Japanese Tanks) p. 29 plate D, "Type 95 had 12&nbsp;mm thick armor"</ref> [[Imperial Japanese Army#The Second World War|Japanese infantrymen]] were not well equipped with [[anti-tank]] weapons, and as such had to use close assault tactics. In this environment, the Stuart was only moderately more vulnerable than medium tanks.((citation needed|date=September 2021))

Though the Stuart was to be completely replaced by the newer M24 Chaffee, the number of M3s/M5s produced was so great (over 25,000 including the 75mm HMC M8) that the tank remained in service until the end of the war, and well after. In addition to the U.S, UK and Soviet Union, who were the primary users, it was also used by France (M3A3 and M5A1), [[Republic of China (1912–49)|China]] (M3A3s and, immediately post-war, M5A1s) and [[Josip Broz Tito]]'s [[Yugoslav Partisans|Partisans in Yugoslavia]] (M3A3s and few M3A1).

With the limitations of both the main gun (see below) and armor, the Stuart's intended combat role in Western Europe was changed significantly. Light tank companies were often paired with cavalry reconnaissance units, or else used for guarding or screening, and even used in supply or messenger roles for medium tank units.((efn|"At approximately 1720 hours on June 1st (the light tank) company... was called upon to move to the vicinity of 032465 (Velletri) to form an armored guard for the 85th Division C.P.. Three other light tanks of the company were used as liaison between the medium tanks companies of the regimental command post. This use of light tanks proved to be the most effective way of maintaining communication between the tanks and infantry regimental headquarters."<ref>((citation |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191107021540/http://cgsc.cdmhost.com/cdm/singleitem/collection/p4013coll8/id/3422/rec/17 |archive-date=7 November 2019 |url= http://cgsc.cdmhost.com/cdm/singleitem/collection/p4013coll8/id/3422/rec/17 |author=Headquarters 760th Tank Battalion |title=Operations in Italy 1944 |page=108 |work=Ike Skelton Combined Arms Research Library Digital Library))</ref> ))

On 9 December 1944, the [[759th Tank Battalion (United States)|759th Tank Battalion]] advanced on a hill near [[Kreuzau|Bogheim]] but was subjected to a counter-attack by German forces, including a heavy self-propelled [[assault gun]], which took "over 100 direct hits" at ranges as low as ((convert|75|yd|m|abbr=on)) with "no appreciable damage".<ref>((cite report |archive-date=17 September 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200917135704/http://cgsc.contentdm.oclc.org/cdm/ref/collection/p4013coll8/id/3930 |url=http://cgsc.contentdm.oclc.org/cdm/ref/collection/p4013coll8/id/3930 |title=After action report, 759th Light Tank Battalion, July 44 through March 45 |date=4 May 1945 |page=27 |access-date=19 June 2017 |via=Ike Skelton Combined Arms Research Library))</ref>

In January 1945, a report to General Eisenhower concluded that the Stuart was "obsolete in every respect as a fighting tank" and that it would not "turn the German fire [n]or [would] the 37mm gun damage the German tanks or SP guns".<ref>((cite book|last=Zaloga |first=Steven J.|title=US Armored Divisions – The European Theater of Operations, 1944–45|series=Battle Orders 3|year=2004|publisher=Osprey |isbn=978-1-84176-564-8|page=34))</ref>

===Post World War II use===
[[File:M3A3 1949.JPG|thumb|left|An M3A3 during the Chinese Civil War, 1949]]

After the war, some countries chose to equip their armies with cheap and reliable [[war surplus]] Stuarts. The Chinese Nationalist Army having suffered great attrition as a result of the ensuing civil war, rebuilt their armored forces by acquiring surplus vehicles left behind in the Philippines by the U.S. forces, including 21 M5A1s to equip two tank companies.

The M5 [[First Kashmir War#On the use of armour|played a significant role in the First Kashmir War]] (1947) between India and Pakistan, including the battle of [[Operation Bison (Jammu & Kashmir 1948)|Zoji-la pass]] fought at an elevation of nearly ((cvt|12,000|ft|m)).

M3A1 and M3A3s were used by British forces in Indonesia during the [[Indonesian National Revolution]], where they suffered heavy losses due to the Stuart's thin armor plating.<ref>((cite web|last1=Padi|first1=Mata|title=M3A3 Stuart: Light Tank Legendaris Yang Masih Punya "Gigi"|url=https://www.facebook.com/notes/mata-padi/kavaleri-indonesia-dari-warisan-belanda-menuju-kemandirian/10150478683275553/|website=Facebook |language=id |publisher=Facebook.com|access-date=7 January 2016))</ref> They were used until 1946, when the British left. The M3A1 and M3A3s were then passed on to the [[Royal Netherlands East Indies Army]], which used them until the end of the fighting before passing on the tanks to the [[Indonesian Army]]. The tank saw action during the [[Darul Islam rebellion|Darul Islam rebellions]] in Aceh and Java, [[Invasion of Ambon|Republic of South Maluku rebellions]] in South Maluku, [[Revolutionary Government of the Republic of Indonesia|PRRI rebellions]] in Sumatra, [[Permesta|Permesta rebellions]] in Northern Sulawesi and the fighting against the [[30 September Movement]].<ref>((cite web|title=M3A3 Stuart: Light Tank Legendaris Yang Masih Punya "Gigi"|url=http://www.indomiliter.com/m3a3-stuart-light-tank-legendaris-yang-masih-punya-gigi/|website=Indomiliter/|date=4 June 2015|publisher=Indomiliter.com|access-date=7 January 2016))</ref>

During the 1960s and 1970s, the [[Portuguese Army]] also used a small number of M5A1 light tanks, out of a total of 90 received as military aid from Canada in 1956, in the [[Portuguese Colonial War|war in Angola]], where its all-terrain capability (compared to wheeled vehicles) was greatly appreciated. In 1967, the Portuguese Army deployed three M5A1 light tanks – nicknamed "Milocas", "Licas", and "Gina" by their crews – to northern [[Angola]], which served with the 1927th Cavalry Battalion commanded by Cavalry Major João Mendes Paulo, stationed at [[Nambuangongo]]. The vehicles were mostly employed for convoy escort and recovery duties and limited [[counterinsurgency]] operations against [[National Liberation Front of Angola]] (FNLA) guerrillas, who dubbed them "Elefante Dundum". "Milocas" was destroyed by an accidental fire in 1969, while "Gina" and "Licas" were withdrawn from active service in 1972, the former being sent to [[Luanda]] and the latter ended up in 1973 as an airfield security pillbox in the [[Portuguese Air Force]]'s [[Zala, Angola|Zala]] airfield.<ref>Alexandre Gonçalves, ''Odissea em África – Os M5A1 em Angola'', in ''Cadernos Militares do Lanceiro'' n.º3, Lisbon 2010, pp. 83–91</ref> Period photographs show some modifications to the basic design, namely the omission of the bow machine gun, re-installed on a pintle mount in the roof of the turret, and a small searchlight fitted in front of the commander's cupola.<ref>Manuel A.

During the four-day long [[Football War]] of 1969, El Salvador invaded Honduras in an all-out-war strike using the M3 Stuart as the main battle tank. El Salvador captured eight major cities before the [[Organization of American States]] arranged a ceasefire.

The [[South African Armoured Corps]] continued to use M3A1s in a reserve role until 1955. Some were refurbished locally in 1962 and remained in service as late as 1964. The fleet was withdrawn in 1968, owing to parts shortage.<ref name=lesakeng>((cite web|url=http://www.saarmourmuseum.co.za/lesakeng.html |title=Lesakeng |publisher=South African Armour Museum |date=2012-12-06 |access-date=2013-06-18 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130703141331/http://www.saarmourmuseum.co.za/lesakeng.html |archive-date=2013-07-03 ))</ref>
