context_page_description: Military light utility vehicle, or simply Light Utility Vehicle, is a term used for the lightest weight class military vehicle category. A
  jeep-like four-wheel drive vehicle for military use by definition lighter than other military trucks and vehicles, inherently compact and usually with light or no armor, with short body overhangs for nimble all-terrain mobility, and frequently around 4-passenger capacity.
  Worldwide, and since the earliest large scale mechanisation of the military, hundreds of different light vehicles have been used for military utility service, ranging from readily available commercial products, just repainted in military colors, to purpose-designed tactical vehicles, that were specially developed for military applications and operation in forward areas. Light utility vehicles are typically general or multi-purpose – used to carry troops, staff, weapons, supplies, evacuate wounded soldiers and many other diverse roles.
context_section_description: The HMMWV platform represented a paradigm change in the U.S. military — abolishing the dichotomy between the small quarter-ton rigs, and the various other, larger "light" trucks, after more than four decades. Intended to replace all of the Army's ​¹⁄₄-ton to ​1 ¹⁄₄-ton vehicles with one single chassis, the resulting ​¹⁄₄-ton Humvee became much larger and heavier than the jeeps, and inspired a new generation of vehicles, used in similar military roles.
