At 24th ID when the neighboring armor unit (5/13 Armor IIRC) got their M-1s, there was a policy about the armor. If, for example in a training accident, the armor was gouged to the point that a red layer was showing, the tank was immediately taken 3rd Echelon maintenance, and unit maintenance was not allowed to fix it. That's an example of how classified Chobham was at the beginning.
