Colonel Jeff Krongaard, officer in charge, Marine Armor Installation Site and Brig. Gen. William D. Catto, commanding general, Marine Corps Systems Command, cut a ribbon signifying the opening of new buildings at the MAIS. Marines and contractors who install the Marine Corps newest Marine Armor Kits here have an estimated output of 200 humvees and 30 Medium Tactical Vehicle Replacements or 7-ton troop trucks per month with the opening of the new buildings. (The appliqué °anel for the underbody armor is the newest part of this kit,) said Krongaard, a Tucson, Ariz., native. (Thats the big thing; Marines were using old flak jackets and sandbags, even free-floating plates, underneath their feet. Even those were not as safe as they needed to be. This new underbody kit makes vehicles less penetrable from below.)
