Stryker with fender skirts?
The AFV ASSOCIATION was formed in 1964 to support the thoughts and research of all those interested in Armored Fighting Vehicles and related topics, such as AFV drawings. The emphasis has always been on sharing information and communicating with other members of similar interests; e.g. German armor, Japanese AFVs, or whatever.

Yes, it is new. It is known as EFP armor and I forget what it stands for. It weighs about 1,200 lbs. It is obvious what it is meant for. The 56th just deployed w/ it - I believe that is the unit in the photo training at the JRTC - and one of the currently deployed Stryker Bdes got it retrofitted while in Iraq. They have had it for a few months. Bob

...........I forget what it stands for Explosive Formed Projectile. Here's a picture taken in 2006 showing countermeasures that were taken locally. M1A2 I believe Chris "Toadman" has more on his site. Joe D
