56th Amph Tk & Trac Bn(Innef.) & Co C 56th ATT

A family member served in CO C, 56th AT&T Bn.  His Track Vehicle training was in the Panama Canal Zone, Jul - Sep 1952.  Apparently went on from there to Korea for about 1 year, 3 months.  Was honorably discharged on 9 Dec 1953.

There is little reference or attention given to supporting and attached units such as AmTrac Battalions, making specifics difficult to locate. The following is from Across the Reef by Victor J. Croizat and is the only reference to the 56th states that the Army 56th Amphibian Tank Battalion provided 18 LVT(A)s from its “A” Company to lead the two battalions of the 1st Marines embarked aboard 164 LVT3Cs of the 1st Amphibian Tractor Battalion landing on Blue Beaches at Inchon.

Good luck on your hunt, if I come across more information I will post.

Well show us the whole unit on the paper and maybe we can break it down and give you a starting point

Rounds Complete!!
