The United Kingdom plans to spend more than $1 billion to acquire a fleet of Joint Light Tactical Vehicles, according to the U.S. Defense Department.
The Pentagon’s Defense Security Cooperation Agency, which manages foreign military sales, on Monday notified Congress that the State Department has approved the possible transaction.
According to the announcement, the $1.04 billion deal calls for supplying the British military with 2,747 of the vehicles, which are made by truck-maker Oshkosh Corp., based in the Wisconsin city of the same name, and designed to replace a portion of the Humvee fleets in the U.S. Army and Marine Corps.
