MRAPs In Iraq

The first shipments of Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles arrived at Camp Liberty in western Baghdad and are being fielded to units who operate in areas with the highest threat levels. These are the first of an estimated 7,000 MRAP vehicles expected in theater by early summer.

There are currently about 500 MRAPs in use in Iraq prior to this new production. Afghanistan has about 20 MRAPs.
