Summary

Description
English: All 3 U.S. World War II light 4WD military utility vehicles that have been called 'Jeeps' – the ¼-ton Willys MA and both ½-ton and ¾-ton Dodge WC series, photographed at Holabird Quartermaster Depot (note "H.Q.D." abbreviation in photo; 1941)

Left to right: 'Truck, 1/4 Ton, 4x4' Willys MA; 'Truck, Command Reconnaissance, 3/4 Ton, 4x4' Dodge WC-56; 'Truck, Radio Reconnaissance Car, 1/2 Ton, 4x4', Dodge WC-6 (or similar).

The ½-ton Dodge G-505 trucks (pictured right) were the first light 4WD trucks provided to U.S. troops (in 1940–1941), that they sometimes called 'jeeps'. During 1941, Ford, Willys and Bantam each received orders to build at least 1500 pre-production ¼-ton units (Willys MA pictured left); and in late 1941, Dodge had redesigned their WC series into the uprated, shorter, wider, and lower G-502 models (Command Car version pictured center).
