The purpose of this document is to provide the Army with a Tactical Wheeled Vehicle (TWV) Strategy that synchronizes the plans and actions of all Army agencies involved in TWV requirements, procurement, integration, sustainment, and management. This strategy describes the ends, ways and means to achieve an effective and affordable TWV capability for the Army. The following four fleets comprise the Army's TWVs: Light, Medium, Heavy and Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP); Armored Security Vehicle and Stryker are not included. The strategy covers the time period of the present through Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 and supersedes the Army 2009 TWV Investment Strategy. This Strategy will inform the requirements process, TWV Acquisition Strategy, Fleet Management Plan (to be published), and the development of the Army Program Objective Memorandum (POM).

The Department of Defense (DoD) is acquiring two new tactical wheeled vehicles (TWV): the Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) All Terrain Vehicle (M-ATV) and the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV). The $12.5 billion M-ATV is for use in Afghanistan; JLTV is the future replacement for vehicles like the High Mobility Multi-purpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV). This report assessed: (1) DoD's progress in rapidly acquiring and fielding M-ATVs; (2) JLTV's expected features and cost compared to other TWV; and (3) the extent to which the current plans for M-ATV and JLTV are consistent with the services' TWV investment strategies. Includes recommendations. Charts and tables. This is a print on demand edition of an important, hard-to-find publication.

This report responds to the Congressional concerns expressed regarding the Defense Department's Fiscal Year (FY) 2010 budget request by delivering an Acquisition Strategy that has evolved from its inception through the incorporation of the 2008 Army and U.S. Marine Corps (USMC) Joint Tactical Wheeled Vehicle (TWV) Strategy, the 2009 Army Equipping Strategy, TWV Vehicle Investment Strategy, and the 2010 Army Modernization Strategy. These strategies are developed with appropriate fleet analysis, capabilities assessments and available investments to balance sound acquisition plans with necessary sustainment of current fleets. The scope of the TWV Acquisition Strategy and this report includes the Light, Medium and Heavy TWV Fleets. It also includes the integration of the MRAP's into the force structure and the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) into the Light TWV Fleet. This report and the TWV Acquisition Strategy do not include the Armored Security Vehicle, Stryker or any other wheeled vehicle in the Army inventory.

Congress recently requested a study of the U.S. ground combat and tactical wheeled vehicle fleets. The authors reveal risks in the technologies required to close capability gaps, the business processes used by the U.S. Department of Defense in managing vehicle production and modification initiatives, and the modeling and simulation process supporting research, development, and acquisition, making recommendations for mitigating these risks.

The analysis referenced in this report was an extension of the Tactical Wheeled Vehicle Fleet Study Phase 1 conducted in March-October 1980. The analysis investigated the impact of changes made in the U.S. Army's tactical wheeled vehicle fleet in terms of aircraft requirements needed to move U.S. Army units. The Military Traffic Management Command (MTMC) Air Scheduling and Loading Model (ASLM) was used to calculate aircraft sorties required to move a type Infantry Division, a Mechanized Infantry Division, an Airmobile Division, an Airborne Division, and a Corps Support Force closely tailored to the Airborne D Package. Aircraft sorties were calculated for each unit tailored to each of alternatives 1, 2, and 9 of the Tactical Wheeled Vehicle Fleet Study. A comparison was then made of sorties required to move the alternative 2 and 9 tailored forces against sorties required to move the corresponding alternative 1 (base case) tailored force. The calculated number of aircraft sorties required for a strategic/intertheater deployment of the type units referenced in this analysis ranged from a low of 771 aircraft (691 C141B and 80 C5A) for the alternative 1 configured Airmobile Division to a high of 1491 aircraft (999 C141B and 492 C5A) for the alternative 9 configured Mechanized Infantry Division. In a strategic/intertheater air deployment, the impact of alternative 2 compared to alternative 1 ranged from a 1.4 percent increase in total aircraft for the Airmobile Division to a 4.3 percent increase in total aircraft for the Airborne Division. In a similar comparison between alternative 9 and alternative 1, the impact ranged from a 3.6 percent increase for the Airmobile Division to a 7.7 percent increase for the Infantry Division.

This thesis addresses the problem of optimizing the U.S. Army's Light Tactical Wheeled Vehicle (LTWV) fleet over the next 15 years. To achieve these ends we created a multiple objective decision analysis (MODA) model which assigns a value to each vehicle in the LTWV fleet, as well as a linear program (LP) which allows decision makers to find feasible modernization strategies for the LTWV fleet subject to multiple constraints such as budget and operational readiness. The MODA assigns a value to every individual vehicle variant depending upon its measures of performance in several categories. Those values are used by the LTWV LP to prescribe solutions for decision makers. We implemented the LTWV LP using notional data and ran initial analyses to demonstrate the program's validity. Possible analyses include varying any of the LTWV LP inputs, such as operational, budgetary, and age requirements, as well as procurement availability bounds. The project serves as a conceptual framework for future refinement of the decision tool requested by the U.S. Tank-Automotive and Armaments Command (TACOM).
