Description
About the Relic & Process
This fragment is an authentic piece of supplemental door armor from a U.S. Military High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV), commonly known as the Humvee. The vehicle, a staple of U.S. ground forces since the 1980s, was designed to serve in a variety of roles, from troop transport to light combat support. To enhance protection for soldiers operating in increasingly hostile environments, especially during conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, supplemental armor kits were developed and fitted onto the Humvee's doors and body. This particular armor fragment consists of multiple steel plates riveted together on the exterior of the vehicle's door, offering added defense against small arms fire, shrapnel, and improvised explosive devices (IEDs).

The steel armor plates were layered and designed to be modular, meaning they could be added or replaced in the field as needed. The exterior of the armor was painted with the standard tri-tone camouflage pattern used by the U.S. military, which helped the vehicles blend into diverse environments, from desert to woodland terrain. The paint used on these vehicles is CARC (Chemical Agent Resistant Coating), a specialized coating that not only provides camouflage but also resists corrosion and protects the vehicle's occupants from chemical, biological, and radioactive threats. CARC's durability and resistance to chemical agents have made it a standard for military vehicles exposed to hazardous combat zones.
