The M-24 was given a larger 75 mm gun as well as being the first US tank to use a torsion bar suspension. The M-24 didn�t do very well in Korea 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.

The RoK (Republic of Korea) Army had operated eight M24�s for a brief period during the Korean War. Originally the training was done at the Replacement Training and School Command. It was decided to expand and train larger groups of personnel and that it should be done at a centralized location. In early 1952 the new facility was opened in Kwangju 120 miles west of Pusan and it would be renamed The Korean Army Training Center. The facility could now accommodate up to 15,000 troops at one time. Most M24s were stationed here for training purposes only.
