US Army orders $99M more Humvees as JLTV A2 production falls behind schedule

The US Army has awarded AM General a contract modification worth nearly $99 million for additional HMMWV (Humvee) vehicles. Although the more modern JLTV was selected as the Humvee's successor, significant production delays with the JLTV A2 variant are forcing the Army to keep ordering the decades-old platform. The deal highlights broader difficulties in modernising the US Army's light vehicle fleet.
