The United States Army, Canadian Army, and British Army used several LVT models during World War II, and referred to those vehicles as "Landing Vehicle, Tracked." Originally intended solely as cargo carriers for ship to shore operations, they evolved into assault troop and fire support vehicles.

With the outbreak of war just 10 months after the contract was awarded, Roebling’s updated amphibious tractor entered service with the Fleet Marine Force as the Landing Vehicle Tracked (LVT-1). Food Machinery Company built the first 200 LVTs in Dunedin, Florida, with the first one rolling off the assembly line in July 1941.

The LVT or Landing Vehicle Tracked was an amphibious, tracked military vehicle which was used by the United States during WW2. It was mainly used in the Pacific Theater, most notably in the Battle Of Okinawa.

LVT(A)s, manned like the troop carriers by Army crews, had the mission of helping neutralize the beaches and then supporting the advance inland by landing on the flanks of the assault battalions.
