Reuters: Army Rushes to Harden Iraq-Bound Vehicles. The army is seeking more production of the most fully armor-protected “Humvee” military vehicles, defense officials said on Friday, after a soldier’s complaint to Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld that troops had to use scrap metal to protect vehicles in Iraq. U.S. Army Secretary Francis Harvey “has been on the telephone personally today” with Armor Holdings Inc., a Jacksonville, Florida, company that is the Army’s sole supplier of the most heavily armored Humvee models, one official said.
Armor Holdings contracts are on the web site. Mostly employment agreements though.
