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.
