They remained a basic issue item on the M88 tracked recovery vehicle into at least the mid-90s.

Same for the M578 Tracked Recovery Vehicle for the smaller tracked vehicles based on the M113 APC. My battalion had one M578 so those crewmen had the only M3s in the unit. Always enjoyed seeing those come out of the arms room.

Yep. My M88 crews all had them.
