During the 2003 Invasion of Iraq, the U.S. deployed its latest M1A2 Abrams main battle tanks and these
continued to be used in Iraq during the subsequent occupation period. Due to the threats posed by RPGs and
improvised explosive devices (IEDs) in the urban environments, the tanks were upgraded with more protection
in the form of Tank Urban Survival Kits (TUSK I) in 2004. The upgrade included features such as reactive
armor on the hull sides, hull underside armor to protect against land mines, an M2 machine gun mounted
above the main gun barrel, infrared cameras for the crew, and an external telephone for communication with
accompanying infantry. A further development called TUSK II added features such as tile-shaped reactive armor
to the turret and hull sides, armored shield for the commander, and a rear-view camera. These kits could be
installed in field depots in about 12 hours and different tanks had different features equipped.
