1. A military vehicle comprising:
a passenger capsule including a structural shell having a front end and a rear end;
a front module coupled to the front end of the passenger capsule, the front module including a first longitudinal frame member, a second longitudinal frame member, a front axle assembly, and a front differential;
a rear module coupled to the rear end of the passenger capsule, the rear module including a rear axle assembly;
a prime mover coupled to the front module;
a transaxle coupled to the rear module, the prime mover, and the front differential, the transaxle including a transfercase component and a rear differential component at least partially contained within a common housing;
a front lift structure including a first protrusion extending from the first longitudinal frame member and a second protrusion extending from the second longitudinal frame member to provide a pair of front lift points;
a rear lift structure including a third protrusion and a fourth protrusion extending from opposing lateral sides of the rear end of the structural shell, the third protrusion and the fourth protrusion providing a pair of rear lift points; and
a plurality of interfaces coupling at least one of the front module or the rear module to the passenger capsule, wherein at least a portion of the plurality of interfaces are configured to at least partially fail during a blast event such that the at least one of the front module or the rear module at least partially separates from the passenger capsule and dissipates blast energy.
