The article says they can build new Humvees, but I thought the issue was retro fitting them with armor?
Is it really that critical to have armor on a Humvee that just drives around a secured base?
Why do the Humvees have to come back to Indiana to be retro-fitted?
Are Humvees regularly used in combat type missions?  I thought Strikers were used.

The article says that both the production facility and the armor facility located in Ohio are capable of producing more units for the Army.

Most of the Hummers at my local National Guard have Canvas doors or no doors!
