Initially conceived as a replacement to various light utility vehicles used by the U.S. armed forces until its debut in 1985, the High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle, more popularly known as the Humvee, has taken on the role and more since its inception.
Thanks to decades of counter-insurgency warfare, the initial light frame and canvas doors of the Humvee are now often replaced by heavy additional armor, blast-resistant hulls, and thick bullet-resistant windows. (The statistics provided are for a lightly-armored version - for a heavier variant, use armor statistics equivalent to the subsequent JLTV.)
The Humvee can mount a wide variety of weapons in a turret mount above the cabin; the statistics provided are for an M2 heavy machine gun, but Mk19 automatic grenade launchers and M240 medium machine guns are also common.
Variants include:
- An ambulance variant with extended cargo area
- A stripped-down open-topped utility variant with open bed
- Mortar carriers and TOW missile carriers
