| | Tank destroyer (TD) men were commando-trained and plenty tough. |
| | | Reconnaissance men were usually the first to find trouble. |
|
| | The stop-gap M3 TD was the best the first battalions had in 1942. |
| | | The light TD platoons entered battle using the M6 TD. |
|
| | The M10 TD first saw action late in the North Africa campaign. |
| | | The M18 embodied TD doctrine: light, fast, and able to kill tanks. |
|
| | After North Africa, half the TD battalions converted to towed 3-inch guns. |
| | | The M36, which carried a 90mm main gun, was the most lethal TD. |
