Summary:

This report documents the results of a multipart research project on evolving a fleet strategy for Army tactical wheeled vehicles. The first phase of the study focused on the light tactical vehicle fleet. The second phase focused on the medium and heavy tactical vehicle fleets, specifically building a status profile that shows the Army where it currently stands in terms of the types, quantities, and years of useful life remaining in its medium and heavy tactical wheeled vehicle fleets. In addition, we discuss the state of the data with regard to tactical vehicles and present recommendations for future research. This research should be of interest to members of the Army and the Department of Defense responsible for formulating, reviewing, or implementing policy that governs the planning and acquisition of tactical wheeled vehicles for the Army.
