The Air Force is officially working to replace its inventory of up-armored Humvees with the Army's newest battlewagon.
The Air Forces' Agile Combat Support Directorate is working with the Army to acquire and field approximately 3,230 Joint Light Tactical Vehicles (JLTV) starting in 2021, the service announced on Monday.
Developed based on the U.S. experience fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan and designed to provide better protection against improvised explosive devices, the Army first fielded the JLTV to soldiers in January 2019.
