Due to countless complaints made by Odst divisions about dropping into combat with no vehicle support has lead to high command to look at old 21st century military vehicle designs for a very easy Apc that could be dropped with ODSTS. The complaints were about how Odsts dropped into combat and had to either find and scavange vehicles in the battlefield or incases when odsts dropped in an invasion before other unsc units have to wait for vehicles to arrive for support in achieving mission adjectives. So it was decided the centuries old m113 apc would be the best fit for what ODSTS needed and built with 26 century materials would be more lighter and stronger than its older heavy ancestor design.
