Combat Car M2 is a tracked combat vehicle designed to support the cavalry of the US ground forces. The term "combat vehicle" was used due to legislative restrictions adopted in the United States after World War I, under which only infantry could designate armored tracked vehicles as a tank. The Combat Car M2 was structurally similar to the combat vehicle M1A1. The differences are in the chassis part, where the larger diameter guide wheel was placed so that it touched the ground and a third tensioning pulley was added. The vehicle was equipped with a diesel engine Guiberson T-1020.
M2 combat vehicles were destined as armaments for mobilized cavalry units (unlike the M1, which were included in active units) and was expected to produce 292 pieces. 10.07.1940 there was the creation of a tank army and then 22.08.1940 there was a redesignation of the technology used by cavalry. Combat Car M2 was later referred to as the light tank M1A1 (Light Tank M1A1). They were used for training tasks until the end of 1942.
