The reason why the U.S. Army is replacing the Humvee 

The Humvee is a beautiful military car, I want it to remain operational for many more decades, and never need to be replaced from the jltv.

Willy Jeep: proud of you grandson. Humvee: way to go son.

The computer voice narration needs to go

Once I hear the robot voice I click off the video

So this means...more Mumvees for us civilians

I’m a 91B and I can already tell these thing are gonna be a pain in the ass to service

HMMWV look so simple, common, and neat. As if they are the proper standard and just... work? Over complicating things isn't always the best choice.

Why not use both? #HumveeLivesMatter

I like it, build me a civilian version.

Simple the humvee doesn't offer enough protection without absolutely booging down the suspension with extra armor it wasn't designed for. The lower profile and extra weight means parts wear out faster and you get stuck easier.

Totally look amazing.and very cool and the different types of vehicles and the capabilities of these are powerful too ..Thank you so much

I joined the National Guard and for most of my career, I had recon duties. The M151 jeep was small, but quiet. It was hard to get stuck, but when it did, it was often possible to get it free with the strength of the crew, maybe in extreme cases with some help from a second jeep. The problem was that it did not carry much cargo, and recon with a trailer is dicey if you have to turn around in a hurry. The HMMWV is larger, noisier, and the way things ended up, I still found myself towing a trailer on recon more than once. It's bigger size and lousy visibility makes it a lot harder to backup or turn around in a hurry. The HMMWV is a better off road vehicle than the M880 s it replaced, but I would have preferred to keep the CUCV. It never should have replaced the jeep as a Scout/Command vehicle. The replacement looks to be even larger. Sometimes survivability depends on stealth and nimbleness, and not being their when the sewage hits the fan; the jeep remains better for those jobs. We need a new jeep, maybe a couple of inches wider, and definitely about a foot longer. Besides needing a quieter scout vehicle, if you are on recon, it helps to be able to hear and be more in touch with the surroundings. Hiding behind armor may fend off light ammo (but not armor piercing heavier calibers,) but it definitely creates a sense deficit about what is going on outside the vehicle. The military these days is so focused on zero casualties, something that is never going to happen, that they create other issues.

A report came out yesterday saying they will not be replacing the Humvee they will be refurbishing the Humvee

It would be nice if it had a small on-board generator to power the new suite of electronics without idling the engine constantly.

The UK is also buying nearly 3000 of these, we have the new Foxhound vehicle which is very nice but due to us being the only user of it we have to pay the full R&D cost, plus the composite armour is expensive, it's great as a lightweight vehicle but for larger tasks the JLTV fits the bill, and buying a vehicle the US are using cuts costs for spare parts and manufacture for a vehicle with such large order numbers, it just makes sense.

Look like dog car from dumb and dumber

Just finished a rotation at NTC with these vehicles they are the truth!

Not gonna lie really miss the iconic good old humvee

The US government wouldn't be buying these things if they didn't plan on being in Iraq/Afghanistan for a long time.

I've got news for you, an un-governed Hummer will do 100 mph +. I served with the M-151A2, and a few A1s. It was a great vehicle, if you weren't a hotdog behind the wheel. I was able to get a MUTT to do things everyone else believed it couldn't do. I was one of the first 100 soldiers in my division to be licensed for the HMMWV. I liked it, generally speaking. I did not care for the automatic transmission, and the shift pattern took some getting used to, especially the lack of the park slot, IE you had to place the transmission shifter into neutral, and set the parking brake when you stopped. While more comfortable than the M-151, the Hummer was larger, and so more difficult to navigate in forested areas. The Hummer was also much louder, with the turbo diesel. I think the turbocharger may have been removed on later production vehicles, as ones I heard later on did not have that same high pitched whine, as the early ones. My unit kept M-151s long after everyone else had had to surrender them, as they allowed us to conduct our operations better, even though we got Hummers also, so for several years we had more vehicles in our unit, than the normal TO&E authorized. The biggest drawback to the Hummer, was that once inside, you were almost completely cutoff from outside stimuli. In other words, you didn't hear as well, see as well, smell as well, or feel your environment as well as you did in a MUTT. This creates a false sense of security, as well as removing the soldier from the environment he must live, and fight within. This new vehicle looks like it is bigger still than the Hummer, but is even more enclosed. So the soldier is even more isolated from the battlefield environment. That may be useful when IEDs are your biggest threat, but it will be very detrimental in combat in most environments other than desert, while fighting terrorists, and irregular forces. The narrator makes reference to the fact that the M-151 series couldn't keep up with Abrams tanks, and IFV's. That is quite true, but they were NEVER intended to. The M-151 series was designed, and first adopted in 1958, and while there were three major upgrades (M-151, A1, and A2), along with several lesser MWO changes, the M-151 was a GPWV (General Purpose Wheeled Vehicle [commonly referred to as a GP {jeep}]). Meaning it was a scouting, light attack, support, or liaison vehicle. It replaced three classes of vehicles used in WWII/Korea, and two used in Viet Nam. It was never intended to be direct support for armor, and with the adoption of the M-1 Abrams class of MBT, the M-151 series had NO HOPE of ever maintaining contact with the armor elements, but then, again, it was never intended to. Further, it seems to have even less cargo capacity than the Hummer, and the under hood area is an even bigger spaghetti factory than the Hummer. One of the biggest beauties of the M-151 series, was they were simple. Two mechanics, with a chain hoist, and a sturdy tree, could swap out the power pack in three hours. The Hummer takes at least two, maybe more, and needs a dedicated motor shop. This new thing will be an even bigger nightmare for the mechs in the field. Modern Army, and Marine Corps leadership has forgotten the oldest adage of warfare. "If it can go wrong, it will, and probably already has". To that end, stop looking for the most sophisticated, and coolest toys on the market, like the Air Force, and Navy do. Look for the equipment that will do the job most efficiently, yet allow the soldier to do his primary job, be that fighting, or maintaining/repairing.

Thank God we replaced the HMMWV because if we didn't, I would have lost a lot of battle buddies during OEF.

I hope that grille is armored. Everything else looks protected, but if the grille isn’t, the enemy can hit the radiator, will overheat and stall and will be a sitting duck

when passing the dirt road, my heart always beats faster. IED made me worry when driving an old humvee.

There are no current plans to replace all Humvees in service though the JLTV will serve many roles.

I don't know why but all of this cars are seem's like have a dog face 🐶

Simple it was never ment to be used as a heavy combat vehicle it's light transport security vehicle but was pressed into the IFV roll even though it was never ment to be used as such

hey maybe drop 6 or 7 more commercial in the 11 minute video.

Tuan Tamvan meaning in Indonesia is "MR.Handsome" 🤣🤣

Should have used the Cummins engine in it coupled that Allison transmission. Perfect!!!

At first I thought that was the OshKosh M-ATV, but then I realized it was the OshKosh JLTV

its even more ugly and heavier then the humvee...but OK as long as it protects the soldiers and does his job - good luck

Still loves the design of the humvee

Hummer Will Never Be Forgotten By Offroad Peoples Love Hummer❤️

Did he just say Gale Banks? Nice!!! Finally our service men are getting what they need.

The reason is that the General in charge of the change was bribed with a multi million dollar salary on the board of directors when he retires from the Army. That's how the Military-Industrial complex works.

What is the difference between the M-ATV and JLTV? They look almost the same

In Iraq and Afghanistan the Americans bought a lot of South African Casper mine resistant medium trucks that were combat proven in the 23 year war in Angola where the Soviets were finally stopped at the battle of the Lomba river in 1988. The Casper formed the basis for the US Rhino medium armoured truck.

there's a reason this country is over 20 trillion in debt.

Don’t you chaps hit land mines? We used Casspir and Buffel troop carriers in Angola. They were v shaped to minimize mine damage. Not sure why you stick to these flat body vehicles???

8:08 Happy Humvee.

This would be good to run down the Racists in Black LIES Matter when they block the road....

looking great. Can`t wait to see it in action.

The killer argument is this: The armor's weight of the HMMWV squashes its suspension, leaving litte range for the wheel to traverse. Most naturally, having changed the requirments so drastically, to incorporate effective armor, necessitates a new vehicular concept.

Because mines shred it into a million pieces, unlike Aussie made Bushmasters and Hawkwei, PMV Vehicles?

Can’t wait to get these in the future 😍🤘🏻🇺🇸

See the size of the hummvee? The JLTV can lower itself profile to being just slightly taller than that. That’s freaking epic!

As much as I love the old ones they are very vulnerable to rpg and mines plus they slow the new ones look better to and are far better protected plus the old ones had a good long run will still see them with MP's as well

We really need 2 vehicles to replace the Humvee. One small lightweight fast vehicle. Smaller than the Jeep, but with better off-road capabilities, and one Heavy, with armor, lower center of gravity, and very simple,but redundant systems for close combat support.

I can remember, in the 1980's, reading an article about the Jeep being replaced by the Humvee, in the US Army. I was wondering now if there's a video about that, from that time.

Us military uses thousands of jeeps today and has alot of regular old pickups. Hummers will be around bases for decades

All I can say is tha't if it keeps our Men and Women of the Military out of harms way , it's worth every penny. To all of the Men and Women of the Military , Thank You for your Honorable Service and God Bless You All. SEMPER-FI

we need to give money to weird al so he can afford one of them but solid gold

They should have never stopped using the Jeep

Looks awesome!!!🇺🇸

I just think that it's sad that we didn't do this sooner. All of our armed forces that lost their lives in the humvee. They might have a better chance to stay alive. God rest their souls. GF1

If arnold schwarzenegger see it he will say "give me one of those i want ittttt"

Nice video!

It will be nice to see lifted truck with nice tires in military

Maybe now we should focus on a vehicle that can resist a rocket or missile.

At 4:15. It seems to me that the front engine compartment is too compact. Too many components make it difficult to repair & maintenance. This is not a good thing in combat situations.

The hood looks very flimsy. Is it made of plastic or fiberglass? I looks like the engine could be destroyed by small arms fire.

Seriously a robot voice?

That shit is a Monster compare to the Humvee. Now imagine it customized equipt with some 24' on it with Lambo doors lifts. 8 12inch sub in the back... woooop sweet baby ride.

The top heavy POS almost turns over at 1:17 and top speed of 77 ya right, my HMMWV would probably our run it at 65. This POS will be on GOVLIQ like the LMTV's after its releases. If you want to impress GI show some videos of it getting hit by a RPG or a 100LB IED. Then you can compare it to the master of the road HMMWV.

A Converted Ford Rapter would work... and save billions.

Hey look at that, it can drive the same places a Subaru can go! These vehicles are so much more capable than you ever see.

The HUMVEES were not built to be uparmored and are basically shot.

Because This Costs More

love the humvee looks badass but also looks so beautiful but this new one looks ugly and scary but seems like a monster that can go through anything which is good

Put the highly efficient opposed piston high power diesel engine in it and upgrade it's body and you got yourself a war machine.

The idiots who decided the Hummer was a good vehicle for the Military finally retired. The mistake is finally going to be rectified. The No other Military in the World wanted to touch them.

The times, challenges, parameters, requirements and tactics of today’s battlefields have changed. The Humvee has done its job in its time and done it well. Now its time to move on to bigger and better things with the JLTV. 🇺🇸👍.

We made the most ugliest vehicle I've seen so fare! Nice going USA it's a jeep gremlin !

Still love the Humvees

It should have got a Cummins, instead of a duracrap

So enemy countries will be getting a new batch of vehicles when the Americans flee the country abandoning their military vehicles in bulk.

but will it protect our soldiers when it runs over an iad and it explodes?

damn motor t is about to be the safest mos in the marine corps

2019 I ain’t here of them yet when

Looks like a Bow Tie on the grille...😎😎😎

4:16 i have some experience working on cars and all i have to say about this is NOPE can't fix this in the field if it breaks down gotta have a whole truckload of tools

Should’ve put the new dodge engine in it

Much like the SCAR assault rifle vs the M4, the M1278 might have better specs, but it doesn't necessarily mean it's a better vehicle when it comes to the whole picture.

The hummwv was not made for battle: no armour, exposed the tourette soldier, incapable to protect against land mines, high fuel consumption, vulnerable against light machine guns and assault rifles, no air conditioning (It is important in hot places).

Does it have airbags to lower and raise it? Or is it hydraulic? Either way we have more that can break on mission

Because they have realized just what a fucking deathtrap the humv really is!

HMMWV was already a big vehicle. Now Oshkosh L-ATV will be just HUGE! in off road size frequently is a problem, weight as well. and bigger target is easier to hit...

HUMVEE is my #1 Dream Car...but still expensive in Europe

We have a few in our motor pool. A bitch to work on haha

I hope the bonnet and front guards , windows , windscreen and front doors are at least small arms fire proof . Plus is there a some type of protection for the radiator ?

Is anyone else a little bit angry that In the title it says the army when clearly in the video it’s The Marine Corps

engine is unprotected ,1 round of 7.62x39 and you are on foot.

The windshield and overall front looks like a stormtrooper helmet

Yaaaaay that means there will be more humvees on military surplus😂😂

When the humvee were moving,it was a beauty. I hope enemies dont laugh at this new vehicle

How many billions did it take to make a glorified flatbed pickup?

cant wait for this to go on auction for civilians

the old humvee can go to 60mph, i think 0 to 60 in 36 seconds too

Just remember one day a terror group will be be driving it back at allies or uncle Sam.

There is only one reason why the US Army replaces anything: to keep spending money so their budget does not go down.
