POLICY JUSTIFICATION 

Mexico—M1152 High Mobility MultiPurpose Wheeled Vehicles (HMMWVs) 

The Government of Mexico has 

requested a possible sale of 3,335 

M1152 High Mobility Multi-Purpose 

Wheeled Vehicles (HMMWVs), spare 

and repair parts, support and test 

equipment, communication equipment, 

publications and technical 

documentation, personnel training and 

training equipment, U.S. Government 

and contractor engineering, technical 

and logistics support services, and other 

related elements of logistical and 

program support. The estimated cost is 

$556 million. 

This proposed sale will contribute to 

the foreign policy and national security 

of the United States by helping to 

improve the security of a strategic 

partner. Mexico has been a strong 

partner in combating organized crime 

and drug trafficking organizations. The 

sale of these HMMWVs to Mexico will 

significantly increase and strengthen its 

capability to provide in-country troop 

mobility to provide security. 

Mexico intends to use these defense 

articles and services to modernize its 

armed forces and expand its existing 

army architecture to combat drug 

trafficking organizations. This will 

contribute to the Mexican military’s goal 

of updating its capabilities, while 

further enhancing interoperability 

between Mexico and the U.S. and 

among other allies. Mexico will have no 

difficulty absorbing these vehicles into 

its armed forces. 

The proposed sale of this equipment 

and support will not alter the basic 

military balance in the region. 

The principal contractor will be AM 

General in South Bend, Indiana. There 

are no known offset agreements 

proposed in connection with this 

potential sale. 

Implementation of this proposed sale 

will require at least four U.S. 

Government or contractor 

representatives to travel to Mexico for a 

period of three years to provide 

operational and maintenance training. 

There will be no adverse impact on 

U.S. defense readiness as a result of this 

proposed sale.
