The M3 Lee, officially Medium Tank, M3, was an American medium tank used during World War II. The turret was produced in two different forms, one for US needs and one modified to British requirements to place the radio next to the commander. In British Commonwealth service, the tank was called by two names: tanks employing US-pattern turrets were called "Lee", named after Confederate general Robert E. Lee, while those with British-pattern turrets were known as "Grant", named after Union general Ulysses S. Grant.

The M3A5 medium tank upgrades included, Diesel-engined variant with rivetted hull; Twin GM 6-71 diesel engines coupled together to make the GM6046 powerpack; Side doors welded shut or later eliminated. 591 M3A3 medium tanks were built, 387 as Grant IIs, 23 supplied to Brazil.
