- Summary:
- While DOD does not have a comprehensive TWV investment strategy, the individual services, particularly the Army and Marine Corps, have multiple studies under way which address different aspects of TWV strategic planning. The Army and Marine Corps have also collaborated on joint studies of TWV issues. A unified, comprehensive, long-term TWV strategy would be beneficial to DOD and the services in minimizing the potential for unplanned overlap or duplication as they: 1) define the specific roles and capabilities of similar vehicles; 2) adapt their TWV capabilities to current and anticipated threats; 3) address long-term TWV sustainability issues; and 4) determine how best to take advantage of MRAP capabilities for the long term. The strategy should balance protection, payload, and performance needs with available resources, especially for Light Tactical Vehicles.
