In what year did the JLTV begin production?

The Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) began production in 2015. This timeline is significant as it follows several years of developmental testing and evaluation which began in the preceding decade. After the program was initiated in 2006 to replace the aging fleet of High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicles (HMMWVs), the design and testing phases culminated in the selection of Oshkosh Defense as the manufacturer in August 2015. This marked the transition from development into the production phase, ultimately leading to the fielding of JLTVs to U.S. military forces. The production year is crucial for understanding the context of the vehicle's development and its introduction into military service.
