2015–2026 · AM GENERAL, SOUTH BEND HQ / MISHAWAKA PLANT (BOUNDARY — PROGRAMME BY PROGRAMME)
The modern book is real, county-seated, and programme-by-programme as the row requires — and its seats are named exactly: AM General LLC, headquartered in South Bend, vehicles built at its Mishawaka Manufacturing Campus / General Military Assembly Plant, Mishawaka — across the line from Osceola, not in it. Programme one — HMMWV foreign military sales, 2015: a $372,936,476 firm-fixed-price multi-year FMS contract for up to 2,082 Humvees with spares, for Afghanistan, Iraq, Kenya, Lebanon, Ukraine and Tunisia, vehicles built in Mishawaka, estimated completion 29 Apr. 2016. Programme two — Afghan HMMWV production, 2016: a $356.2 million contract to manufacture 1,673 HMMWVs (1,259 M1151A1B1; 414 M1152A1B2) at Mishawaka for the Afghanistan National Army and Police, completion estimated 29 July 2017. Programme three — the five-year FMS book, 2017: a contract with a $2.2 billion ceiling to build up to 11,560 Humvees for foreign nations; within three weeks orders totalling about $550 million — a quarter of the ceiling — had been placed by nine countries: Afghanistan, Iraq, Ukraine, Jordan, Slovenia, Bahrain, Colombia (printed “Columbia” in the Military Times account; the country is Colombia, and the spelling conflict prints as found), Bosnia and Kenya; AM General put 250,000 Humvees then operating in 50 countries, and international sales at about half its sales across its history. Programme four — Iraq, 2017: a $28 million Army modification supporting the sale of 150 HMMWVs to Iraq, work performed in South Bend, complete by end of May 2017. The follow-on JLTV production award (up to $8.6 billion, vehicles built at Mishawaka) is a U.S. programme, not FMS, and is printed as such so the foreign book is not inflated by it. Osceola's share: none seated — the desk is South Bend's and the plant Mishawaka's, in Penn Township's own city, which is the closest this section comes to home ground, stated as proximity, not seat.
