=== France === During the Suez Crisis of 1956, the French Army used two sections of the 2nd Foreign Cavalry Regiment's AMX-13 tanks in Port Fouad. The AMX-13s also saw limited action in the Algerian War, largely due to the rough terrain in most of Algeria and much of the fighting with the anti-colonial guerillas being in the difficult terrain of the countryside.<ref>{{cite web|title=La cavalerie pendant la guerre d'Algérie - Le 1er RHP|url=http://www.fncv.com/biblio/conflits/algerie/cavalerie-1er-rhp/index.html|author=Jean Charles Auffret|website=FNCV|language=fr|access-date=11 May 2015|archive-date=24 September 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924014100/http://www.fncv.com/biblio/conflits/algerie/cavalerie-1er-rhp/index.html|url-status=dead}}</ref> France also fielded a number of AMX-13s fitted with US [[M24 Chaffee|Chaffee]] light tank turrets in the fighting in Algeria.
