That would be the FMTV or Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles. There
are a full suite of vehicles from a basic 2.5 ton to tractors. Its
quite an interesting concept of systems however in order to attain
some of the required mobility goals (un-refueled range and/or air
portability) lighter materials have been used that aren't as durable.
Do a search on FMTV with Google or another search engine and read up.
There are articles on things they've been fixing over the course of
the deployment and ongoing product improvements with S&S as well as
details on the entire family of vehicles.
see www.fmtvtruck.com
