Coming Soon

The U.S. military will soon buy its last Humvee - its workhorse truck since the 1980s but a "death trap" in modern warfare - and drive soldiers to war in vehicles with better armor. The military plans to buy about 2,600 more Humvees to fill out its requirement of about 150,000. But those vehicles will be confined primarily to bases in war zones, relief missions in safer parts of the world, and on stateside military bases. Commanders prefer MRAP (Mine Resistant Ambush Protected) vehicles because troops are much more likely to survive a blast from an improvised explosive device than they are in a Humvee. The Pentagon is rushing the all-terrain version of the MRAP to Afghanistan that is designed for its rugged terrain. There are about 1,000 of those vehicles already in Afghanistan.
