Last year, the State Department approved a possible sale to Iraq of 1,000 Humvees with increased armor, machineguns, grenade launchers, other gear and support that was estimated to cost $579 million.

Using the above figures - 1,000 units @ $579m - $579,000 per unit. (seems a tad high for fleet sales)

2,300 units ‘lost’ @ $579,000 = $1.331B and change? (BILLION)

Damn, I'd like to be the Humvee dealer for the replacements.
