AM General was selected following a competition with Chrysler Defense and Teledyne Continental, and the first production vehicle left the line on 2 January 1985. Built around a steel frame with a lightweight, corrosion-resistant aluminium body, the Humvee positioned its drivetrain components high within the chassis to create a flat underbody and improve off-road performance. It made its combat debut in Panama in 1989 and became widely recognised during Operation Desert Storm in 1991. The M1025A2 belongs to the A2 modernisation series and was designed to improve mobility, reliability and field maintainability. Its protection package combines steel, Kevlar and polycarbonate glass. The full-size armament carrier can accommodate weapons including the M2HB heavy machine gun, Mk19 grenade launcher and TOW anti-tank missile system. Glue and paints are sold separately.
