M998 HMMWV – Humvee Military Art by Artist Craig Tinder

Known as the Humvee, the High-Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV) M998 replaced the M151 series Jeeps in 1989. The M998 is capable of transporting a payload of 2,500 lbs, has a 60% slope climb, and can ford 60 inches of water – all with a ground clearance of 16 inches. The HMMWV is the world standard in off-road military trucks and can be configured for a variety of missions including troop transport, cargo/utility carrier, ambulance, TOW missile & machine gun platform, scout-recon, and much more.
