Armoured Jeeps
True to their SAS ancestry, the paras of the Demi-Brigade Parachutiste SAS fitted some jeeps with armour. However, the Viet Minh had no airfields to raid and the jeeps proved unsuited to local needs. After taking serious losses in a well-planned ambush, the armoured jeeps were replaced by armoured cars in 1948.
Armoured GMC trucks
The deployment of the 2e DB's to Indochina included its 22nd Colonial Artillery group (AA) equipped with self-propelled 40mm Bofors mounted on GMC 2.5 ton trucks, a conversion that had been carried out by the unit during WW2. Given the lack of enemy aircraft, these were quickly given armoured bodies and used for gunfire support of infantry operations. Improvised mounts were also built locally by simply bolting a Bofors gun to a GMC's cargo bed and adding armour plating but these suffered from excessive weight and resulting chassis fatigue. Some armoured trucks were also used as personnel carrier for convoy escorts.
Armoured Dodge WC62
Besides the GMC trucks, some Dodge WC62 1.5 ton trucks were also given some armour protection and proved relatively successful for road opening and escort duties. Armouring the lighter 3/4 ton Dodge Weapon Carriers on the other hand was abandoned after experiments had shown that the drastically overloaded vehicle was of little use
