Since the mid-1980s, the American High Mobility Military Wheeled
Vehicle (HMMWV, or Humvee) has become synonymous with the US
military. In service all around the world for decades, it
remains-Iraq War controversies notwithstanding-the world standard
in light military tactical vehicles. Gradually nearing the end of
its frontline service, it has earned a place of honor beside the
much-loved Jeep of World War II. This is a concise look at the
background, development, and operational history of the Humvee from
the 1970s to the present. The author brings a unique perspective
and authority as a Bosnia veteran and former Humvee crewman with
the United States Army's 1/104th Cavalry. He was granted
behind-the-scenes access to 1/104th Cavalry HMMWVs and the Army's
collection of rare vehicles at Ft. Benning, Georgia. Also included
is the Humvee's service in lesser-known places such as Cold War
Germany, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Korea, and Africa, as well as detail
photos of the Humvee's features.
