caption_attribution_description: Marmon-Herrington CTLS tanks maneuvering in a mountain pass in Alaska (USA), in the summer of 1942. One tank is CTLS-4TAY (Light Tank T15), with driver on with its turret offset to the right, the driver sitting on the left. The other is CTLS-4TAC (Light Tank T14) in which that arrangement is reversed.
context_page_description: The Marmon-Herrington Combat Tank Light Series were a series of American light tanks/tankettes that were produced for the export market at the start of the Second World War. The CTL-3 had a crew of two and was armed with two .30 cal M1919 machine guns and one .50 cal M2 Browning machine gun. They were originally designed to be amphibious light tanks. They were rejected by the U.S. Marine Corps in 1939, but after the attack on Pearl Harbor they were exported and used as an emergency light tank.
  It primarily served in Alaska and the Dutch East Indies, while small numbers were used in the U.S. as guard tanks stationed along the U.S. coast. A total of about 700 examples were produced, and although it was declared obsolete by the Allies in 1943, it was used by the newly created Indonesian Army after the end of the Second World War, remaining in Indonesian service until 1949.
