I ran the heavy maintenance section for one contract in KAF and became familiar with the HESV, which by then had armour kits applied. I saw that one or two were listed as dump variant, but never saw them. I think it was just an attachment to the PLS. We had a couple of hanger queens which we managed to get back on the road, thanks to the excellent support given by the LCMMs.
By that point in time, the Mercedes Actros AHSVS had come into play, and the HESV were relegated to in camp/FOB duties only, and were not driven in convoy, but rather flatbedded to the FOBs. No comparison with the ACTROS for safety.
Just looking at my spell check on the above paragraph, and I think the acronyms must really be confusing to a civilian.
