The M24 was the replacement for the Stuart light tank. Also known as the Chaffee tank, it designed with angled armor increasing its survivability. The M-24 was given a larger 75 mm gun, as well as, being the first US tank to use a torsion bar suspension.

During the Korean conflict, the M-24 faired poorly against the T34/85 so it was given secondary roles to the M26 and M46. The M41 Bulldog replaced the M24 in US service by 1953.

Originally the 75th Tank Battalion in 1941 and then re-designated the 755th and once again re-designated as the 79th in 1949. Company �A� saw its first combat action while supporting the 27th Infantry who, in July 1950 were driving back a major North Korean attack. The next action was as part of Operation Ripper where the enemy was driven back across the Han River. From there the 79th took part in several other successes in the Spring of 1951, Operations Dauntless, Detonate and Piledriver.
