Description
ARNG HMMWV Modernization aims to modernize the Army National Guard's existing fleet of High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicles (HMMWVs) by procuring new production, armor-capable HMMWVs. This effort is crucial to address the aging fleet and reduce obsolescence burden. The program aligns with the Army's modernization path and addresses identified model mix gaps. Without this investment, approximately 7,700 non-armored HMMWVs will remain in the total fleet, posing readiness challenges and cannot be up-armored. The goal is to modernize Modification Table of Organization and Equipment (MTOE) units, allowing for the divestiture of non-armored HMMWVs and ensuring that the ARNG has a portion of authorized armor-capable M1152A1 vehicles.
The specific objective of the ARNG HMMWV Modernization Program is to procure new production armor-capable HMMWVs to modernize Modification Table of Organization and Equipment (MTOE) units within the Army National Guard. This procurement will address the aging fleet and reduce obsolescence burden, aligning with the Army's current modernization path and addressing identified model mix gaps. The program aims to enable the divestiture of non-armored HMMWVs that pose readiness challenges and cannot be up-armored, ensuring that the ARNG has a portion of authorized armor-capable M1152A1 vehicles. Additionally, this effort supports homeland defense missions, domestic emergency responses, and providing military support to civil authorities as mandated by Section 1815 of the FY 2008 National Defense Authorization Act (P.L. 110-181).
