B Company 3-66 armor
Bumper # B-66: (company cdr tank) hit by 3 US DU rounds, one penetrated
the turret ring and killed the gunner and injured the commander,
the second penetrated from un-described angle injuring loader and driver
who were attempting to rescue the gunner. Vehicle burned and exploded.
None of the hits were on the special armor areas.
B-22: was hit shortly after B-66 (was turning to help B-66 at the time)
by a US DU round on its mine plow and front slope, the driver was
slightly injured by flash burns from the impact and an electrical
short circuit from the damaged plow started a small fire inside
the tank, though the tank didn't generally catch fire and was
repaired in the field.
A Company 3-66 armor
A-14: hit by one 120mm round from unidentified direction,
causing injuries to the driver, loader, and gunner and
a fuel leak which eventually caused the vehicle to catch
fire and burn.
A-31: Struck glancing blow by DU round, holing fuel cell.
Not disabled, but was turned in for repairs.
A-33: Struck from behind by AT missile and disabled, while crew
were evacuating two DU rounds hit tank, entering left side
and exiting on the right side, injuring the commander, driver,
and gunner who had not yet exited the vehicle.

B company 1-37 Armor
B-23 struck from behind by large shaped charge weapon,
penetrating the rear hull doors. Second round struck

hull fire and ammunition explosion series which destroyed the tank.
Evidence that the shaped charge weapons were Hellfires,
but not proven.

D company, 2-34 Armor
D-66 caught fire during tactical road march, forcing crew
to abandon vehicle despite using all onboard and available handheld
fire extinguishers. Vehicle burned for 2 days and then ammo cooked
off in the hull ammo compartment. Apparently the bustle rack ammo
was undamaged and did not explode. Damage was mostly confined to the
hull ammo rack and the engine compartment burned out.
