History

The Kangaroo was a troop transport converted from the chassis of the Canadian Ram tank. The normal Ram tank has similar armor and gun to the M4 Sherman, but production was discontinued once the Sherman became available in quantity. Many existing Ram tanks were then converted to be used as troop transport. The name Kangaroo was also used for other tank chassis converted into troop transport.

Compared to the trucks and half-truck then currently used, the Kangaroo provided better mobility and protection dued to being fully tracked and having better armor. This allow the infantry to more closely follow tanks into battle.
