Which branch of the U.S. military primarily utilizes the JLTV?

The Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) is primarily utilized by the U.S. Marine Corps. This vehicle was developed to replace the aging fleet of HMMWVs (Humvees) and to provide enhanced mobility, protection, and payload capabilities on the battlefield. The focus of the JLTV program has been specifically on meeting the operational requirements of the Marine Corps, which often operates in diverse and challenging environments requiring highly mobile and durable vehicles.

The design and features of the JLTV are tailored to the needs of the Marines, including advanced protections against mines and improvised explosive devices (IEDs), as well as the versatility to perform a wide range of missions. As a result, the Marine Corps has become the primary branch to adopt and implement the JLTV into their operational structure, making it a critical asset for their tactical operations and missions.
