Historical Background:

The M48 A2 AVLB entered U.S. Army service in the 1960s, offering armoured bridge-laying support for combat units. Using a scissors-type bridge system, it could deploy a 22-meter bridge in under three minutes. Built on the robust M48 Patton platform, it provided armoured mobility for engineer teams advancing under threat.
