Hey, I was wondering if there is any detailed information on where the Ho-Ha halftracks were fielded to or in what regiments they were in, so far Ive read that most of them were kept in the home islands, while some were sent to the Philippines and China, but is it known were in the Philippines or in China they were sent to for example?
The only sources Ive found that barely mentions the deployment of the vehicle is wikipedia and a blog article that I believe says Ho-Ha halftracks were used in three infantry regiments:

Any more info would be appreciated, thx.

It is not confirmed that Ho-Ha was sent to China or Philippines. I believed that Ho-Ha was deployed only in Japan homeland.

I see, so there seems to be some obscurity with at least the use of this vehicle too, thx a lot Taki.
