Army Plans No JLTV Buy In FY '27, While Marines, Air Force Stick With Procurement
The U.S. Army has announced it will not procure Joint Light Tactical Vehicles (JLTV) in Fiscal Year 2027, a significant break in the multi-service acquisition program, while the Marine Corps and Air Force plan to continue their JLTV buys. The Army's decision reflects budget prioritization toward heavier platforms and other modernization programs. The move raises questions about the long-term production run and unit cost stability for JLTV manufacturer Oshkosh Defense. Marines and Air Force continued procurement will partially sustain the production line.
