People are talking about World Food Program trucks saying:

"Every seventh truck, there is one piece of A.U That for prtection"

What does A.U stand for?

Thanks.

Maybe it means "armored unit" or something like that? I've never seen this before.

It depends how much protection they need- it might be armed rather than armoured.
