The Humvee saw widespread use in the [[Gulf War]] of 1991, where it navigated the desert terrain; this usage helped to inspire civilian [[Hummer]] versions. The vehicle's original unarmored design was later seen to be inadequate and was found to be particularly vulnerable to [[improvised explosive device]]s in the [[Iraq War]]. The U.S. hastily up armored select models and replaced frontline units with the [[MRAP]].

Since [[World War II]], the "[[Willys MB]] {{1/4}}-ton Truck, Command and Reconnaissance", and its evolutions, were used for mass-deployment, and became known as "jeeps". The United States military had continued to rely heavily on jeeps as general utility vehicles and as a mass-transport for soldiers in small groups. Although the [[United States Army|U.S. Army]] had let [[Ford Motor Company|Ford]] redesign the jeep from the ground up during the 1950s, and the resulting 1960 [[M151 ¼-ton 4×4 utility truck|Ford M151 jeep]] incorporated significant innovations, it firmly adhered to the original concept: a very compact, light enough to manhandle, low profile vehicle, with a folding windshield, that a layman could barely distinguish from the preceding [[Willys MB|Willys jeeps]]. The jeeps were more than two feet shorter than a [[Volkswagen Beetle]] and weighed just over one metric ton, seating three to four, with a {{convert|800|lb|kg|abbr=on}} off-road payload rating. During and after the war, the very light, {{frac|1|4}}-ton jeeps were complemented by the {{frac|3|4}}-ton [[Dodge WC series|Dodge WC]] and Korean War [[Dodge M37]] models.{{ | Since [[World War II]], the "[[Willys MB]] {{1/4}}-ton Truck, Command and Reconnaissance", and its evolutions, were used for mass-deployment, and became known as "jeeps".

Humvees were sent into [[War in Afghanistan (2001–2014)|Afghanistan]] following the [[September 11 attacks]], where they proved invaluable during initial operations. In the early years before [[Improvised explosive device|IEDs]] became prevalent, the vehicle was liked by troops for its ability to access rough, mountainous terrain. Some soldiers would remove features from Humvees, including what little armor it had and sometimes even entire doors, to make them lighter and more maneuverable for off-road conditions and to increase visibility. With the onset of the Iraq War, Humvees proved very vulnerable to IEDs; in the first four months of 2006, 67 U.S. troops died in Humvees. To increase protection, the U.S. military hastily added armor kits to the vehicles. Although this somewhat improved survivability, bolting on armor made the Humvee an "ungainly beast", increasing weight and putting a strain on the chassis, which led to unreliability. Armored doors that weighed hundreds of pounds were difficult for troops to open, and the newly armored turret made Humvees top-heavy and increased the danger of [[Vehicle rollover|rollovers]]. The [[United States Marine Corps|U.S. Marine Corps]] decided to start replacing Humvees in combat with Mine-Resistant, Ambush-Protected ([[MRAP]]) vehicles in 2007, and the U.S. Army stated that the vehicle was "no longer feasible for combat" in 2012.<ref name="army-tech30sep14" /><ref name="telegraph14march14" /> However, Humvees have also been used by [[Taliban]] insurgents for [[car bomb|suicide bombings]] against the [[Afghan National Security Forces]] in the country.<ref name="wp">{{Cite web |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pacific/official-suicide-bomber-in-eastern-afghanistan-kills-5/2020/05/18/a7a9d542-98c1-11ea-ad79-eef7cd734641_story.html |title=Taliban suicide bomber kills 9 troops in eastern Afghanistan |date=May 18, 2020 |via= washingtonpost.com/ |access-date=25 June 2020 |archive-date=23 May 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200523172225/https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pacific/official-suicide-bomber-in-eastern-afghanistan-kills-5/2020/05/18/a7a9d542-98c1-11ea-ad79-eef7cd734641_story.html |url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/2020-05/18/c_139066055.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200520104753/http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/2020-05/18/c_139066055.htm |url-status=dead |archive-date=20 May 2020 |title=At least 7 killed in Taliban attack in Afghanistan's Ghazni|date=May 18, 2020 |via= xinhuanet.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2020/05/18/world/asia/ap-as-afghanistan.html |title=Official: Suicide Bomber in Eastern Afghanistan Kills 5 |date=May 18, 2020 |via= nytimes.com}}</ref> | Humvees were sent into [[War in Afghanistan (2001–2014)|Afghanistan]] following the [[September 11 attacks]], where they proved invaluable during initial operations.

The Humvee replacement process undertaken by the U.S. military focused on interim replacement with [[MRAP]]s and long-term replacement with the [[Joint Light Tactical Vehicle]] (JLTV). The HMMWV has evolved several times since its introduction and was used in tactical roles for which it was never originally intended. The military pursued several initiatives to replace it, both in the short and long terms. The short-term replacement efforts utilized [[commercial off-the-shelf]] vehicles as part of the Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) program. These vehicles were procured to replace Humvees in combat theaters. The long-term replacement for the Humvee is the JLTV which is designed from the ground up. | The Humvee replacement process undertaken by the U.S. military focused on interim replacement with [[MRAP]]s and long-term replacement with the [[Joint Light Tactical Vehicle]] (JLTV). The HMMWV has evolved several times since its introduction and was used in tactical roles for which it was never originally intended. The military pursued several initiatives to replace it, both in the short and long terms. The short-term replacement efforts utilized [[commercial off-the-shelf]] vehicles as part of the Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) program. These vehicles were procured to replace Humvees in combat theaters. The long-term replacement for the Humvee is the JLTV which is designed from the ground up. The [[Future Tactical Truck System]] (FTTS) program was initiated to analyze potential requirements for a Humvee replacement. Various prototype vehicles such as the [[MillenWorks Light Utility Vehicle]], and the [[ULTRA AP]] have been constructed as part of these efforts. The JLTV contract was awarded to Oshkosh in August 2015.<ref name="Oshkosh JLTV Win">{{cite web|publisher= Breaking Defense|url= http://breakingdefense.com/2015/08/oshkosh-beats-lockheed-am-general-for-historic-jltv-win/|title= Oshkosh Beats Lockheed, AM General For Historic JLTV Win|date= 26 August 2015|access-date= 26 August 2015|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20150826062149/http://breakingdefense.com/2015/08/oshkosh-beats-lockheed-am-general-for-historic-jltv-win/|archive-date= 26 August 2015|url-status= live}}</ref> | ||
The U.S. Marine Corps issued a [[request for proposal]]s in 2013 for its Humvee sustainment modification initiative to upgrade 6,700 expanded capacity vehicles (ECVs). The Marines plan to field the JLTV but do not have enough funding to completely replace all Humvees, so they decided to continue sustaining their fleet. Key areas of improvement include upgrades to the suspension to reduce the amount of force transferred to the chassis, upgrading the engine and transmission for better fuel efficiency, enhancements to the cooling system to prevent overheating, a central tire inflation system to improve off-road mobility and ride quality, and increased underbody survivability. Testing of upgraded Humvees was to occur in 2014, with production and installation occurring from 2015 through 2018. Older A2 series Humvees make up half the current fleet, and 4,000 are to be disposed of through [[Foreign Military Sales|foreign military sales]] and transfers. By 2017, the Marines' light tactical vehicle fleet is to consist of 3,500 A2 series Humvees, 9,500 ECV Humvees, and 5,000 JLTVs, with 18,000 vehicles in total.

One suggested future role for the Humvee is as an autonomous [[unmanned ground vehicle]] (UGV). If converted to a UGV, the vehicle could serve as a mobile scout vehicle with armor features removed to enhance mobility and terrain accessibility, since there would be no occupants needing protection. Because there will still be tens of thousands of Humvees in the U.S. inventory after the JLTV enters service, it could be a low-cost way to build an unmanned combat vehicle fleet. Autonomy features would allow the Humvees to drive themselves and one soldier to control a "swarm" of several vehicles.<ref name="army-tech30sep14" /> | |||
Although the Army plans to buy 49,100 JLTVs and the Marine Corps 5,500, they are not a one-for-one replacement for the Humvee, and both services will still be left operating large fleets. For the Marines, 69 JLTVs will replace the 74 Humvees in all active infantry battalions to cover its expeditionary forces. The Marine JLTV order is planned to be completed by 2022, leaving the remainder of the Corps' 13,000-strong Humvee force scattered around support organizations while soft-skinned Humvees will provide support behind the forward-deployed [[Marine Expeditionary Unit]]. The Army does not plan to replace Humvees in the [[Army National Guard]] and is considering options on how many of its 120,000 vehicles will be replaced, sustained, or modernized. Even if half of the force is replaced by JLTVs, the entire planned order will not be complete until 2040. If upgrades are chosen for the remaining Humvees, the cost would likely have to not exceed $100,000 per vehicle.<ref>[http://www.defensenews.com/story/defense/land/vehicles/2015/08/29/oshkosh-awaits-protests-jltv-win/71325838/ Oshkosh Awaits Protests After JLTV Win] – Defensenews.com, 29 August 2015</ref> The Humvee is expected to remain in U.S. military service until at least 2050.<ref>[http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/am-general-secures-six-year-4283-million-contract-to-provide-the-army-with-m997a3-hmmwv-configured-ambulances-300139298.html AM General Secures Six-Year, $428.3 Million Contract To Provide The Army With M997A3 HMMWV Configured Ambulances] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160205135716/http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/am-general-secures-six-year-4283-million-contract-to-provide-the-army-with-m997a3-hmmwv-configured-ambulances-300139298.html |date=5 February 2016}} – PRNewswiew.com, 8 September 2015</ref> Ambulance variants of the Humvee will especially remain in active use, as the JLTV could not be modified to serve as one due to weight issues.<ref>[http://www.military.com/daily-news/2017/06/14/pentagon-selects-1st-army-marine-units-receive-jltv.html?ESRC=todayinmil.sm Pentagon Selects 1st Army, Marine Units to Receive JLTV] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170618210639/http://www.military.com/daily-news/2017/06/14/pentagon-selects-1st-army-marine-units-receive-jltv.html?ESRC=todayinmil.sm |date=18 June 2017}} – Military.com, 14 June 2017</ref> | |||

It has a stronger suspension and larger 6.5 liter turbo-diesel engine to accommodate the weight of up to {{convert|680|kg|lb|abbr=on}} of additional armor. The armor protection can be installed or taken off depending on the operating environment, so the vehicles can move more efficiently without armor when there is no threat of attack. There is some underbody armor that moderately protects against mines and roadside bombs. Other improvements include Vehicle Emergency Escape (VEE) windows that can be quickly removed so troops inside can escape in the event of a rollover, jammed door, or the vehicle catching fire, and a blast chimney that vents the force of a bomb blast upwards and away from the occupants. The M1151A1 has a crew of four, can carry {{convert|2,000|lb|kg|abbr=on}} of payload, and can tow a {{convert|4,000|lb|kg|abbr=on}} load.

Textron's Survivable Combat Tactical Vehicle (SCTV) is a protective capsule that can increase Humvee survivability to MRAP levels while significantly improving mobility. The modifications come in five kits, but all five need to be installed before the vehicle can be properly called an SCTV. | Textron's Survivable Combat Tactical Vehicle (SCTV) is a protective capsule that can increase Humvee survivability to MRAP levels while significantly improving mobility. The modifications come in five kits, but all five need to be installed before the vehicle can be properly called an SCTV. The vehicle features a [[monocoque]] [[V-hull|V-shaped hull]] and angled sides to help deflect [[rocket-propelled grenade]]s (RPGs) with scalable levels of protection. It has greater engine power, replacing the 6.5-liter diesel engine with a [[Cummins (corporation)|Cummins]] 6.7-liter diesel and [[Allison Transmission|Allison]] 6-speed transmission, as well as a stronger suspension, improved brakes, higher ground clearance, and new onboard instrumentation. Fuel capacity is increased from {{convert|27|to|40|usgal|abbr=on}} and the battery and fuel cells are moved from under the rear seat to the rear of the vehicle. Also included are a powerful air conditioner and heating system, [[run-flat tire]]s, a thermal guard liner under the roof, sharp edges removed from inside the cabin, blast attenuating seats, and a folding gunner's turret allowing rapid deployment from a cargo aircraft or shipboard below deck. Although heavier than the Humvee, the SCTV is half the weight and costs $150,000 less than a comparably survivable MRAP. The basic version is a four-passenger armament carrier, but it can be configured as a nine-passenger troop carrier, air-defense vehicle, flatbed cargo truck, or field ambulance depending on the type of Humvee it is converted from.<ref name="armyreco21oct14"/><ref name="defensenews13oct15">[http://www.defensenews.com/story/defense/show-daily/ausa/2015/10/13/textron-pitches-upgrade-extend-life-surplus-humvees/73889414/ Textron Pitches Upgrade To Extend Life of Surplus Humvees] – Defensenews.com, 13 October 2015</ref><ref name="defenseone13oct15">[http://www.defenseone.com/technology/2015/10/ukraines-humvees-are-about-get-more-armor/122772/?oref=d-skybox In a Groundbreaking Deal, Ukraine May Buy US Armor for Its Humvees] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151015234334/http://www.defenseone.com/technology/2015/10/ukraines-humvees-are-about-get-more-armor/122772/?oref=d-skybox |date=15 October 2015}} – Defenseone.com, 13 October 2015</ref> | ||

Textron then focused on selling the SCTV upgrade package to up to 25 countries operating the global fleet, a potential market of up to 10,000 vehicles. The upgrade can enhance the survivability of previously soft-skinned versions, sometimes sold by the U.S. as Excess Defense Articles, while costing and weighing less than a comparable MRAP.

In December 2014, the Department of Defense began auctioning off some 4,000 used Humvees to the public. While some have been transferred to domestic law enforcement agencies, this is the first time the military vehicles have been made available for civilian ownership. The idea is to sell them with starting bids at $10,000 each, rather than simply scrapping them as a way to save money and repurpose them. M998, M998A1, M1038, and M1038A1 model Humvees are available, which are out of U.S. service and lack armor. AM General has been opposed to the resale of military Humvees to the general public, primarily because surplus government vehicles would have cut into sales related to the civilian Hummer model, whose production ended in 2010.<ref>[http://www.armytimes.com/story/military/tech/2014/12/12/humvee-auctions-to-public-a-first/20300263/ Surplus Humvee auctions to the public a first for DoD] – Armytimes.com, 12 December 2014</ref> The first sales from auction occurred on 17 December 2014 for 25 of the Humvees. Bids ranged from $21,500 for a 1989 M1038 to $41,000 for a 1994 AM General M998A1.
