Just as an aside I spent a lot of time ( as in the term beucoup) riding on top of and behind a bunch of sand bags instead of in the thing or riding as the commander.
The M113A3 has a belly anti mine armor and anti spall lining. The fuel has been removed from the crew compartment to the pods on the left and right rear. There are now additional bolt armor packages that are as varied as the country fielding them. The U.S. has been using the slat armor as protection against RPGs but hasn't fielded the ceramic bolt ons due to the increased fuel consumption and lower speed.
