The HMETT, the vehicle I specifically mentioned, is hardened. Oshkosh has also received a multimillion dollar contract to harden other, non-Oshkosh vehicles such as line haul trucks and support vehicles. They may lose some of their radios and secondary stuff, but the drive components, specifically the black box and power distribution to the 8 wheel drive are shielded.
As are the M1s and Bradley and other equipment expected to operate in an NBC situation is also hardened.

That is good to know; thank you for that info. It lowers my cynicism and stress level a tad.
