The M-715 family saw service in the Vietnam War, but was considered underpowered and fragile, compared to the purpose-built Dodge M37 tactical trucks it was intended to replace.

Kia currently produces an M715-type vehicle named the KM450 for the South Korean Army on license from the U.S. government.

India's Tata/Vectra is also entering an M715 type vehicle as a candidate for the Indian Army's LSV requirement.

The M715 family saw service in Vietnam, the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) and European bases.

This led to the vendor hiring a Korean company to repair several hundred trucks held in depot stocks.
