The M2 Light Tank devopled during the 1930′s for the US Army and was largely a test bed for several different design concepts. The M2A4 was the final iteration of the M2 light tank and it had a single turret armed with a 37mm anti-tank gun and coaxal .30 cal machine gun. It was also armed with four additional .30 caliber machine guns in varius locations. The M2A4 formed the pattern for what would evelove into the M3/M5 Stuart light tank, which went into mass production shortly before the outbreak of World War II. By the time of the Pearl Harbor attack, the M2 was largely regulated to training purposes. However, some US Marine units sent to Guadalcanal still had M2A4s in their inventory, where they performed admirably next to M3s during the hard-fought campaign to capture and hold the island.
