    The M10 tank destroyer, formally 3-inch Gun Motor Carriage M10, or M10 GMC was an American tank destroyer of World War II. After US entry into World War II and the formation of the Tank Destroyer Force, a suitable vehicle was needed to equip the new battalions.
    The M10 was numerically the most important U.S. tank destroyer of World War II. It combined thin but sloped armor with the M4's reliable drivetrain and a reasonably potent anti-tank gun mounted in an open-topped turret.
    M10 tank destroyers disembarking on a Normandy beach to join the fighting. Despite not adhering strictly to the tank destroyer doctrine, the M10 still achieved impressive scores against enemy tanks. A US Army study of 39 tank destroyer battalions found that each destroyed, on average, 34 tanks, 17 towed guns, and 16 pillboxes.
    The M10 GMC used the M4A2 Sherman chassis and the M10A1 used the M4A3 chassis. Production of the two models ran from September 1942 to December 1943 and October 1942 to November 1943, respectively. The M10 was numerically the most important U.S. tank destroyer of World War II.
    American warfare doctrine called for the use of tank destroyers to fight enemy tanks, while their own tanks were intended to support infantry in battle. The M10 was the most numerous anti-tank self-propelled gun of the American army in World War II.
    Additionally, by this time the US Army generals were beginning to see that the massed tank assaults that they studied in 1940 which led to the M10 design no longer took place with significant frequency, thus concentrating numbers of M10 tank destroyers in the rear to counter possible enemy tank assaults was actually not effective.
