The French military had a longstanding presence in Indo-China dating back to 1919, when it dispatched FT-17 tanks to the colony. This was followed by a diverse array of armoured vehicles, including the iconic M24 Chaffee light tank, which played a significant role in the Second World War. Following the war, French troops were equipped with a mix of American and discarded British equipment. However, the outbreak of the Korean War marked a significant increase in military aid, including large numbers of M24 Chaffee light tanks and amphibious vehicles like the M29C Weasel and LVT4 Buffalo. These vehicles were deployed to conduct operations in coastal and inland areas that the Viet Minh had previously believed to be immune to attack. The French armour played a crucial role in the battle against the Viet Minh, particularly during the final stand at Dien Bien Phu.
