I can't find anything about this modification.
Thank you by help.

No particular unit. It is called "Hillbillie Armor." Maintenance personel came up wit different configerations. Also, different material was used to. Do a search for "Hillbillie Armor" in Iraq and see what you come up with.

Pete is mostly right. The armor in the ACAD kit is mostly a 1st generation ASK kit. The only hillbilly part is teh door armor. The rest is a manufactured add-on kit. I have seen pics of this armor used by 101st ABN troopers, not sure which unit though.
