These relationships can also include assisting countries in developing their own local facilities for the purpose of extending vehicle lifecycles or providing the knowledge and support needed to develop in-house capability to enhance and maintain fleets. Examples of Public-Private Partnerships include: Teaming – AM General employs the use of a combination of depot and contractor facilities and personnel to produce or repair weapon systems, equipment and components. We can also provide partners access to previously unreachable international markets via scaled localization strategies. Purchasing – AM General leverages existing supplier relationships to allow access and efficiencies via our established network. Successful examples of our Public-Private Partnerships include: AM General has partnered with the Red River Army Depot in the refurbishment and upgrade of HUMVEE models that will continue to be in the U.S. Military fleet for years to come. In partnership with the National Guard Rock Island Joint Manufacturing and Technology Center (JMTC), AM General produces the M997A3 Ambulance with the same rigorous quality standards at the Rock Island Arsenal.
