	The US military will eventually replace it with the JTLV. The vehicle will have the [[Dakka\|M230]] for taking on Cold War APCs, pre composite armor tanks, and enemies behind cover. The first step to replace the HMMWV is to push it out of its role of patrolling urban environments by MRAP vehicles that are purpose-built for surviving direct attack and IEDs. The HMMWV weakness to IEDs is currently covered by putting an MRAP ahead of it in formation to absorb the force of IEDs while the use of jammers prevents non-tripwire/pressure plate detonations.

	All your humvees may take either a Mk-19 or a 50.cal AA MG, identical to the Army variant. However, these guys have no night vision whatsoever, not even infrared. This is a confused unit: the marine riflemen are already among the best troops at anti-infantry firefights and ~~has~~ little need for more machine guns. Unlike the army Humvees, you don't even have ~~a scout~~ or ~~spearhead~~. As any player with a parking lot of M113s will tell you, machine guns aren't necessary: you will probably have more than enough at any given time if you ever need it (you won't, by the way).

	Compared with its counterparts, the [[FV430_Series#FV_432_Armoured_Personnel_Carrier\|FV-432]] and the [[BTR-60]] provide a similar role of dirt-cheap anti-infantry fire. However these units do so FOR FREE, while you pay for the privilege of having some rednecks riding into battle on machine gun cars in a war against the latest Soviet tech: this means tanks, RPGs and BMPs, for the slower devil dogs out there.

	What the [[Jeep]] was to the first 30 years of the Post WW2 American military, the HMMWV served the same role in the late 20th and Early 21st century. It is no longer in production for the US Military, but upgrades and modifications are expected to keep it in operation till the 2030s. In fact, many HMMWVs are older than their grunt drivers and occupants. The vehicle comes in many flavors from simple utility vehicles to fully protected light vehicles. Two major flaws of the HMMWV are its unusually wide profile, an attempt to address the Jeep and MUTT's rollover issues, (A more serious issue than you'd think. At one point it was so bad the military lost an average of two men per week in peacetime to such accidents; but the problem just came back when HMMWVs started getting uparmored) that deny it use of narrow roads designed for normal cars, and a major weakness to IED attacks.

It is no longer in production for the US Military, but upgrades and modifications are expected to keep it in operation till the 2030s. In 2019 the US Army selected the Oshkosh JLTV light truck to replace it, but procurement is moving slowly. In fact, many HMMWVs are older than their grunt drivers and occupants.

Two major flaws of the HMMWV are its unusually wide profile, an attempt to address the Jeep and MUTT's rollover issues, (A more serious issue than you'd think.

Though, to be fair, it's an unarmored vehicle, just the kind of vehicle insurgents regard as the optimum target for a roadside bomb, and if you bolt enough armor onto it to protect the crew and passengers, it's not very mobile any more and has a tendency to tip over. Armies since WWII have had more trucks on the road moving supplies and material than armored vehicles, and they've always been vulnerable--and it's hardly practical to move every shipment of food and medicine inside an M1A2 tank.
