WASHINGTON — The U.S. Army is “knee-deep” in refining its assessment of tactical, wheeled vehicle fleet requirements, the head of the service’s equipping component has told Defense News.
The Army Requirements Oversight Council has been conducting a study for at least a year that is expected to conclude in fiscal 2022 and inform the correct balance of Joint Light Tactical Vehicles and older Humvees as well as the requirement for Infantry Squad Vehicles.
“We absolutely know that we will have a large [number] of Humvees for a very long time, and in order to sustain that large number of Humvees in our fleet for a long time, we need a healthy industrial base,” Lt. Gen. Erik Peterson, the Army G-8 chief, said in an interview ahead of the Association of the U.S. Army’s annual conference.
