The Armored Personnel Carrier (兵員輸送車 Heiin Yusō-sha?), or simply the APC, is a vehicle which appears in OVA Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket. [2]

Technology & Characteristics[]

Developed by the Earth Federation Forces, the six-wheeled APC was a light and compact armored vehicle primarily for troop transport.[3] Its layout included the front cabin for a driver on the left with a passenger on the right. Its troops compartment had the capacity of approximately 6 - 8 soldiers and troop's movement could be facilitated via the hatch at the roof or a hatched door at the back. The APC was not armed with any weapons or defensive devices, but troops inside the compartment can fire at the enemies via two hatched slots on both side of the vehicle with their own firearms, or they can attack directly when the hatched rooftop was opened, at the risk of their bodies exposed to open attacks. The front cabin also features openable large doors for driver and passenger movement, as well as a pair of flappable front hatches for better driving vision during non-combat situation.

History[]

The APC was produced in large numbers and they are deployed by the Federal Ground Force as a light and convenient troop carrier across the Earth during the One Year War. An example being the APCs were seen deployed at the E.F.F. Arctic Base when the Zeon's Cyclops Team stormed the base on December 9, U.C. 0079,[2] with many of the base's ground and aerial vehicles being destroyed, including numerous APCs. [2]
