“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.
Couldn’t HMMWV’s stay in service as base transportation in non combat roles, much as the old jeeps got you around the base in such applications back in the day?
