Unfortunately for the US Army, the combat experience of the M114 in Vietnam was ignored by the high command, and the M114 was issued to all reconnaissance units in Europe, Korea, the United States, etc.; anywhere but in Vietnam.[6] In 1973, Gen. Creighton Abrams branded the M114 a failure and ordered it retired from the US Army.[7] Use of the M-114 continued for several years after 1973 until it was replaced in all units. -- Last edit: 2015-06-15 19:21:46
