US Army M-48A5's in Korea?

[Old Ford dude Jeff]

Has anyone seen photos of US Army M-48A5's in Korea? ;)

Jeff... I've never heard of the A5 being deployed with active US units to Korea...?

My understanding is that the A5 was mostly relagated to US National Guard units (active units had the M60 Series) until sold off to various countries. I know that the A5's that I saw that were refurbished at the the former Ft. Devens (MA) went to Pakistan.

I'd love to know if they did in fact deploy to Korea.

Yes, 1 & 2/72AR had M48A5's in the early 80's. There is a pic of one on the Academy instructions. Unlike the NG A5's, they used a .50 cal on the TC's hatch. They were the only active duty units to use them
