What US tank has a crew of five? The M1 series has four crewmemebers--as did

It's been a long time since I last read "King of the Killing Field", but
didn't the Army specifically *want* four crew members? Something about two
of them being able to repair a track while one other was dismounted as a
guard while the other stayed with the tank to man the radios and a machine
gun?
