Oshkosh Defense receives $167 million U.S. Army order for 225 trucks and 54 trailers

The vehicles will serve various U.S. Army components, including the National Guard, Reserve, and the Program Executive Office Missiles & Space (PEO MS) in support of the Indirect Fire Protection Capability (IFPC) system. This move underscores the strategic role of modernised ground vehicles in advancing homeland defence and battlefield readiness.

The order features HEMTT A4 variants and the Palletized Load System (PLS) A2, which is autonomous-ready and designed for future integration with next-generation defence technologies. Some of these vehicles will support the development and deployment of air defence systems intended to counter threats such as ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missiles.

“Through our valued partnership with the U.S. Army, we are proud to support the critical role of the National Guard and Reserve forces and enable the integration of next-generation defense capabilities,” said Pat Williams, Chief Programs Officer at Oshkosh Defense. “These orders demonstrate the versatility of the FHTV fleet to fill diverse mission sets across all Army components and underscores Oshkosh’s ability to deliver scalable, mission-ready solutions.”
