The contract calls on AM General to deliver 1,259 -M1151A1B1 HMMWVs and 414 - M1152 A1B2 HMMWV models which will then be delivered to the Afghanistan National Army and Police.

“As the U.S. Government and foreign countries engage in more rapid, dispersed and challenging missions around the globe, deployability and readiness are key determinants of success. AM General's HMMWV platform has been the answer for more than three decades, delivering the modular design with unmatched reliability and innovation to achieve the mission," according to company officials.
“Global demand for new production and remanufactured Light Tactical Vehicles, automotive kits, spare parts and training services is as strong today as ever.
