What caused the armored personal carriers to catch fire?
They were packed with ammunition, C4, flax-x, tnt, Bangalore torpedoes, M72 Laws, claymores, and fuel. All AFV (Armored Fighting Vehicles) burned when they were hit...but APC's (M113 APC/ACAV-Armored Personnel Carriers/Armored Cavalry Assault Vehicles) were all aluminum and aluminum melted quicker than steel. Normally RPG fire was hot enough to ignite the tracks (slang for all fully tracked armored vehicles). Although M113 ACAVs were seen to burn to the ground from strictly land mine explosions.

What is the full word for acav es?
ACAV was coined by GI's in Vietnam in 1965 when the M113 APC (Armored Personnel Carrier) was fielded there. Armor plate was installed around the track commanders hatch, plus two gun shields for a machinegun on each side of towards the rear of the machine. In addition, a strip of extra steel was bolted onto the bottom from the front towards the rear...this was for extra protection from land mines. Together, this was called an "ACAV set", short for Armored Cavalry Assault Vehicle. The original designers and the US Army did NOT like this set up. They had designed the M113 to be a battle taxi...not a tank. By converting the M113 into an ACAV, the GI's had in effect, made the M113 a light tank. However, it was so successful in Vietnam, that the US Army finally accepted the idea...but after the war... went quickly back to just the plain M113 APC. The US Air Force, US Army, and the US Navy quickly re-painted or destroyed/replaced nearly all of their Vietnam War machines (Jets, Armored Vehicles, Swift Boats) when the war ended; wanting to forget Vietnam and move on with non-Vietnam related military hardware.

What is vehicle assault?
During the Vietnam War there were three specifically designed and named "assault vehicles." 1. ASPB=Assault Support Patrol Boat, nicknamed the "Alpha Boat", US Navy. 2. M551 Sheridan Airborne Reconnaissance Assault Vehicle (lSheridan light tank), US Army. 3. M113 APC/ACAV (Armored Personnel Carrier/Armored Cavalry Assault Vehicle), US Army. The M113 & M551 were constructed of aluminum (minus gun/turret for the M551 which were steel); both vehicles were air transportable & both could swim across bodies of water. Both were fielded for the first time in the Vietnam war (1962 & 1969 respectively). Although all armored fighting vehicles are designed for fighting...the term "assault" is generally reserved for "close quarter combat" thus the M113 ACAV (not the APC version) & M551 where designed for close quarter combat (assault).
