Those are USMC M1A1 Abrams tanks with the AN/VLQ-6 softkill active protection system. They're mounted on the bulge of an M1A1 where the M1A2's CITV was placed. This is an M1A1. Sorry if I sound too harsh. -- Last edit: 2018-08-20 09:32:54

This is also one of the earliest major films to show USMC wearing MARPAT; filmed in late 2004 when it was only a couple of years in use. -- Last edit: 2024-09-20 04:34:18
