Hello
I am looking for information whether the HEMTT M983 tractors were equipped with the CPK (Crew Protection Kit) during their service in Iraq or were they only retrofitted on the basis of “hillbilly armor”?
Thank you for your help

I have not seen any M983s in Iraq w/CPK on them. This is mainly due to them only being used to pull PATRIOT launchers at the time. They were not patrolling the highways like other vehicles. They have since been used as the M983A2 LET (Light Equipment Transporters) to pull engineer equipment. Some of these LET trucks may be equipped w/armor going forward.
