During the visit, Secretary Hegseth saw firsthand how Oshkosh’s people, advanced manufacturing capabilities, and industrial capacity support the Department of War’s strategic priorities. With Oshkosh’s advanced tactical vehicles in action and on display, including the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV), Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV) and Remotely Operated Ground Unit for Expeditionary Fires (ROGUE-Fires), Hegseth witnessed how the Oshkosh Corporation enterprise combines global technology solutions with defense expertise to deliver critical ground mobility capabilities for the U.S. military and allied forces.
“We came to Oshkosh because Oshkosh is a model for the other commercial manufacturers to step up when your country needs you,” said Secretary Hegseth. “From building beautiful fire trucks I had the chance to see, to the Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles, you are a model of delivering commercial and military capabilities to the Warfighter.”
“It’s incredible what you achieved here at Oshkosh,” continued Hegseth. “You played a role in every major conflict over the last 80 years since World War II and I’ve seen your incredible work firsthand downrange, and I know that it saved American lives, the lives of American warriors. What’s special about Oshkosh is that 90 percent of your work is for commercial civilian use. It’s great to see integrated production lines of both commercial and defense capabilities.”
Since receiving the original JLTV contract in 2015, Oshkosh Defense has manufactured more than 25,000 Joint Light Tactical Vehicles for the U.S. Armed Forces and allied partners worldwide. Supported by a mature supply chain of more than 300 suppliers and proven production processes, the Oshkosh JLTV program demonstrates the ability of the American industrial base to deliver proven capability at scale.
“Secretary Hegseth’s visit underscores the critical role American industry plays in strengthening our nation’s Arsenal of Freedom,” said John Pfeifer, President and CEO of Oshkosh Corporation. “Oshkosh Defense is backed by the scale, innovation and manufacturing strength of our global commercial enterprise, giving Oshkosh the capacity and agility to respond quickly as the needs of the Warfighter evolve. From proven technologies to world-class production at scale, we stand ready to bring the full strength of Oshkosh to bear in support of the Department of War and our national defense.”
Oshkosh continues to advance ground mobility capabilities to meet the demands of the modern battlefield, integrating technologies such as autonomy and modular open systems architectures into platforms with proven performance, protection and mobility. Combined with established production infrastructure and commercial-scale manufacturing expertise, these capabilities position Oshkosh to respond rapidly as mission requirements evolve.
“Our production teams understand the mission behind what they build every day,” said Steve Nordlund, Executive Vice President, Oshkosh Corporation and President, Oshkosh Transport Segment. “The skilled men and women across Oshkosh Defense have repeatedly demonstrated their ability to turn requirements into proven capability built to perform in the world’s most demanding environments. We have the people, infrastructure and production expertise in place today to move quickly and scale when our customers need us.”
Drawing on Oshkosh Corporation’s broader capabilities, Oshkosh Defense combines proven defense expertise with commercial-scale manufacturing, mature supply chains and a highly skilled American workforce.
