The HMWWV has had a 35 year run. It’s not going away any time soon. The many variants will be around for the foreseeable future. The JTLV will go where survivability is most vital.

Even in ‘93 I had one of those M1009 Chevy Blazers for a couple months.

“The HMWWV has had a 35 year run. It’s not going away any time soon.”

As front line units get the new stuff, their HMMWV’s will get transferred to Reserve and Guard units, into the Depot system, or go to Foreign Military Sales. We will probably see them somewhere for a good twenty or more years.

Which means the units in Korea and the 82d will be among the first to see them. I assume they can be dropped.
