This order builds on Oshkosh Defense’s ongoing support of the FMTV A2 program and its commitment to delivering adaptable, reliable capability to the U.S. government. To date, the Army has placed orders for 953 Oshkosh FMTV A2 LVADs. Through continued investment in the FMTV A2 LVAD, the Army is advancing a modernized capability that supports force mobility, sustainment and readiness.
