The first military Humvee, officially known as the High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV), was developed in the early 1980s. It was adopted by the U.S. Army in 1984, with production beginning shortly thereafter. The Humvee was designed to replace the older M151 Jeep and has since become a versatile vehicle used in various military operations. Its rugged design and adaptability made it a staple for the U.S. military and allied forces.
