OSHKOSH, WI (WTAQ) – The U.S. military is ordering $803.9 million worth of vehicles from Oshkosh Defense.
The company says the order is for 2,721 Joint Light Tactical Vehicles for the Army, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Navy. The order also includes 30 vehicles to be sold to Montenegro, a NATO ally.
“As the threats on today’s modern battlefield continue to evolve, our Warfighters need a highly capable light tactical vehicle that is uniquely suited for mission adaptability,” George Mansfield, vice president, and general manager of joint programs for Oshkosh Defense said in a news release.
“The JLTV can accommodate over 100 different mission package configurations without sacrificing mobility or transportability.”
Oshkosh Defense anticipates more orders within the next year.
