OSHKOSH, Wis., Nov. 3 (UPI) -- The U.S. Army has contracted Oshkosh Corp.'s military division for an additional 6,000 Heavy Tactical Vehicles and trailers.
Wisconsin-based Oshkosh Defense was awarded a $1.2 billion contract for 6,000 Heavy Tactical Vehicles from the Army Tank-automotive and Armaments Command.
