Historical Description and Application

HMMWV vehicles (High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle), known as Humvees, entered service with the United States Army in the 1980s, replacing the aging M151 Jeeps. The M1045 version and its close modification, the M1046, were designed to combat armored vehicles using TOW (Tube-launched, Optically tracked, Wire-guided) missile launchers. These vehicles were widely used during the Cold War, Operation Desert Storm (1991), the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, and in numerous peacekeeping missions around the world.
