	Army Fact File - HMMWV (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Based on the M998 chassis, using common components and kits, the HMMWV can be configured to become a troop carrier, armament carrier, S250 shelter carrier, ambulance, TOW missile carrier, and a Scout vehicle.
		The M998 is the baseline vehicle for the M998 series of 1 1/4-ton trucks, which are known as the HMMWV vehicles.
		All HMMWVs are designed for use over all types of roads, in all weather conditions and are extremely effective in the most difficult terrain.

		HMMWV serve as cargo/troop carriers, automatic weapons platforms, ambulances (4 litter patients or 8 ambulatory patients), M220 TOW missile carriers, M119 howitzer prime movers, Avenger surface-to-air missile platforms, MRQ-12 direct air support vehicles, S250 shelter carriers among many others.
		With the rise of asymmetric warfare and low-intensity conflicts, the HMMWV has found itself thrust into a role it was not originally designed for.
		Although large variety of HMMWV types is a testament to the vehicle's ability to be modified to meet changing mission conditions, it was never designed as an armored personnel carrier (APC).

	High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV)
		The HMMWV's mission is to provide a light tactical vehicle for command and control, special purpose shelter carriers, and special purpose weapons platforms throughout all areas of the modern battlefield.
		The HMMWV is equipped with a high performance diesel engine, automatic transmission and four wheel drive that is air transportable and droppable from a variety of aircraft.
		One of its missions is to serve as a chassis for the M1114 up-armored HMMWV that is used by the Scouts and MPs.

		HMMWVs were tested for more than 600,000 miles over rugged courses simulating worldwide off-road conditions in combat environments.
		The performance potential of the HMMWV has been described as unlimited, due to its multipurpose platform and its ability to accommodate a wide range of weapons, including 7.62 mm and.50 caliber machine guns, and the MK 19 40 mm grenade launcher.
		The HMMWV was selected by the Army over two competitors, after many months of intensive testing by the Army and the Marine Corps.

	Officer, The: HMMWV: the art of military progress - Industry Profile - transportation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		As the HMMWVs performance popularity led more and more systems planners to identify the vehicle as their carrier of choice, it quickly became evident that the current model would need to change in order to meet their expectations.
		Given the tremendous success of the HMMWV to date, it is not surprising that the late 1990s saw U.S. fleet planners shift their focus toward a range of options for insuring the continued viability of this varied workhorse fleet.
		As a result, industry planners are already focusing efforts toward transforming the HMMWV into a system that will meet the seven identified performance capabilities of the Army's Objective Force; ensuring a system that is and will remain responsive, deployable, agile, versatile, lethal, survivable, and sustainable.
