Baldwin Slams GAO Report That Greenlights Private Equity-Owned Company to Manufacture JLTVs Instead of Oshkosh Defense

Press Release

"Our servicemembers rely on these vehicles and it is irresponsible to risk a gap in production of them. I remain concerned that the Army's decision to award this contract to a New York private-equity-owned company that has never made these vehicles poses a risk for our servicemembers and national security. Oshkosh Defense and its workers have manufactured the highest quality vehicles on time and below budget for the better part of a decade, while AM General has no experience manufacturing JLTVs for the Army. I look forward to getting responses from the Army on my questions because the American people need certainty that our men and women in service are getting what they need, when they need it."
