Oshkosh Wins Another Contract

Following up on its recent MRAP-ATV and heavy truck contracts Oshkosh announced that they have been awarded another contract to build Family of Medium Tactical Vehicle (FMTV) trucks and trailers. This contract is called the rebuy program. If all options are exercised over the next five years the contract could be worth up to $2.6 billion.

The initial order is for about $280 million worth of the vehicles. The rebuy seems to indicate that this contract is to begin replenishing the supply of the vehicles in the Army. The U.S. lost a great deal of vehicles in Iraq and Afghanistan to IED and mines. These were of all types including tanks, armored personnel carriers and logistic support vehicles like the FMTV.
