OSHKOSH, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — Oshkosh Defense confirms it will layoff about 160 employees early next year.
The company says it is taking steps to align its workforce in Oshkosh with current and anticipated needs.
Layoffs will go into effect Jan. 5, 2026.
A statement was issued on Wednesday:
Despite proactive measures to expand available work and retain our skilled team members, including upskilling programs, insourcing efforts, and voluntary reductions, we continue to experience overstaffing in certain production areas. As a result, we will implement an involuntary layoff impacting up to approximately 160 production positions, effective January 5, 2026.
This difficult decision was made only after careful consideration of all available options. Impacted team members will be provided with information, resources, and transition support to assist them during this process.
Oshkosh Defense remains committed to supporting our people and delivering the highest quality products in support of our U.S. military and allied partners around the world.
