The Humvee, officially known as the High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV), is a versatile military vehicle designed for various roles, including troop transport, reconnaissance, and cargo transport. It was developed in the 1980s and has been widely used by the U.S. Army and other military forces around the world due to its durability and off-road capabilities. The Humvee features a high ground clearance and a robust frame, allowing it to navigate rough terrains. It can be equipped with different armor levels and weapon systems, making it adaptable for combat situations. Its design has influenced many civilian vehicles, leading to a popular civilian version known as the Hummer.
