The Humvee book: foreign military sales, at pointer

2010 – 2026

The modern outward flow, in the federal record: The AM General section owns the Humvee whole — the plant, the contracts, the vehicle — and this entry carries only the flow's shape and its current state, at pointer. Foreign military sales are the documented engine of the Mishawaka military line's survival: in August 2010 a $619 million contract for 2,526 HMMWVs for the Afghan police and National Guard; on 6 July 2015 a Department of Defense announcement of $372,936,476, options for 2,082 HMMWVs, for Afghanistan, Iraq, Kenya, Lebanon, Ukraine and Tunisia, the announcement carrying the work in Mishawaka; in August 2017 a five-year, $2.2 billion requirements contract for up to 11,560 vehicles, with $550 million in first orders from nine countries, the company announced from South Bend. The totals stand at the two strengths the AM General file prints them: the reference works' production total of approximately 281,000 Humvees, against the company's more than 300,000 built or delivered and its roughly 250,000 operating in fifty countries in the middle 2010s — different measures, printed attributed, not reconciled. The flow's present state, verified November 2026, runs in the contract record's own small print: through 2025 the production contract's modifications name the destinations one order at a time — 224 HMMWVs for Ukraine funded in September 2025, 96 for Iraq that June, 48 for Tunisia, single vehicles and spares for Latvia and Iraq again — and on 18 September 2025 the Army Contracting Command signed a $13,140,694 order for M1152 HMMWVs for the Lebanese Armed Forces, funded from Lebanon's foreign military sales account; the Defense Security Cooperation Agency's December 2025 notification adds a possible further Lebanese sale of 140 M1151A1 vehicles at an estimated $34.5 million. The federal announcements carry the contractor at its South Bend headquarters while the work stands in Mishawaka — the boundary the AM General file prints once and this section observes: the desk is across the river, the trucks are built here, and the outward flow they document is this city's largest by value in the modern record by an order of magnitude.
