#1: M113A3 ID Features? Author: MarkHolloway, Location: Beatty, NevadaPosted: Wed Apr 13, 2011 10:44 pm ---- I thought the M113A3 had the external fuel tanks and holes for mounting add-on armor. They have an "M113A3" at the egineer museum that has neither. Is the museum wrong or was the external fuel tanks part of the RISE package? www.flickr.com/photos/...otostream/

From my memory, one of the key parts of the A3 upgrade was moving the fuel cell outside of the crew compartment (along with a spall liner, different driver's controls, and a handful of other less visible changes...powertrain, etc.)
Unless the rear fuel tanks have been removed, this is more likely an A2.
