The Army used the V-100 with the gun turret and I think they used tjem mostly for convoy work. Our 706s were for carrying around a Quick Response Team (Q.R.T.) to backup the towers, bunkers, or other positions or patrols during an alert.
They were easy to drive once you got used to them and drive and rode better than our 113s. Learning how to drive both these vehicles took about two weeks, I think, of eight hour classes. For me, that happened after my mid shift so I wouldn't get to sleep until about 4-5 o'clock and I had to be at the armory before 11.It was a couple long weeks, but worth it.
The cammo we used was only the sandard tan over the green drab from the factory, some were left green. Not all squadrons used the same cammoflage though. I think these vehicles were assigned to Ubon with the 8th S.P.S. and used a black over what lookd like a medium green instead of the greed drab. It's a bit hard to tell in the photo.
