Article Abstract:
The Humvee armor survivability kit (ASK) was added to deployed Humvees to protect drivers and passengers against small arms and explosive device fragment threats. The ASK was started following a request from Central Command's Combined Joint Task Force 7 to increase the survivability of soldiers mounted in the Humvee who were performing missions such as reconnaissance, convoy escort, re-supply missions and military police activities around Baghdad.
