The first T56 GMC was completed by the American Car & Foundry Company on November 10, 1942 and delivered to Aberdeen Proving Ground. In early February 1943, in recognition of the negative reports by both the Special Armored Vehicle Board and Aberdeen Proving Ground, the Ordinance Department recommended that the development of 3 in Gun Motor Carriages T56 be canceled. |
