advanced and effective technology to protect our sol-
diers while allowing them to effectively carry out 
their mission; 
(2) the heavy tactical vehicle protection kits 
program provides the Army with improved and nec-
essary ballistic protection for the heavy tactical vehi-
cle fleet; 
(3) a secure heavy tactical vehicle fleet provides 
the Army with greater logistical tractability and of-
fers soldiers the necessary flexibility to tailor armor 
levels based on threat levels and mission require-
ments; and 
(4) as Congress provides for a modern and se-
cure Army, it is necessary to provide the appropriate 
funding levels to meet its tactical wheeled vehicle 
protection kits acquisition objectives.
