"AMPHIBIOUS TRACTOR BATTALION (U.S. ARMY)" "During the operations from FOX to FOX plus 2 Day, LVT proved invaluable in landing the assault waves and in transporting heavy weapons, ammunition, consolidation stores, water, etc to forward troops.

At the War Department's meeting in the Fall of 1942 a 76th Tank Battalion was selected to be redesignated as the 727th Amphibian Tractor Battalion, with activation at that hour being scheduled for sometime in January 1944 at Fort Ord, California.
