The M548 was a tracked cargo carrier based on the M113 armored personnel carrier. A general-purpose transport vehicle, it carried cargo and ammunition to forward areas along Vietnam's western border when the country’s poor secondary road system became unsuitable for wheeled trucks. At about 7:15 AM on November 8, 1969, a M548 from C Company, 2nd Battalion, 47th Infantry, 9th Infantry Division was traveling on a road six miles southwest of Tan An city in Dinh Tuong Province, RVN, when it hit a mine. An urgent dustoff (medical evacuation by helicopter) was requested for three injured crewmen. They were carried to the 3rd Field Hospital in Saigon where one of the soldiers, PFC Francisco H. Delgado, succumbed to his injuries. [Taken from coffeltdatabase.org]
