AM General, leading global military mobility solutions provider, hosted a capabilities demonstration of its light tactical vehicle portfolio for the United Kingdom’s Ministry of Defence (UK MoD) at the UTAC Millbrook Proving Grounds. The Company also announced that it will collaborate with Marshall Land Systems, a premier UK defense contractor, as it prepares for the upcoming United Kingdom Land Mobility Programme (LMP) solicitation.
“We couldn’t be more excited to show the UK MoD what our light tactical vehicles are capable of,” said John Chadbourne, AM General Executive Vice President of Business Development, “This demonstration along with our collaboration with Marshall Land Systems are just the beginning of our efforts to support the UK Armed Forces and their mobility capabilities.”
At the all-day experience, the UK MoD had the opportunity to learn more about AM General’s and Marshall Land Systems’ core corporate competencies. They also participated in a ride and drive experience of three of the Company’s platforms – the iconic HUMVEE, the revolutionary Saber, and significantly improved Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV A2). The vehicles were put through their paces at UTAC Millbrook proving grounds, handling a series of tough terrain and obstacles to showcase each platform’s adaptability, ruggedness, and handling performance. It was important for AM General to demonstrate to the MoD that its tactical vehicle platform options cover the weight, capability, and protection spectrum, all built with the highest quality to meet their mission requirements.

Additionally, the planned strategic collaboration between AM General and Marshall Land Systems is expected to enable subject matter expertise growth for both organizations and establish regional development through long-term ecosystem participation in the UK. Marshall’s exceptional experience with vehicle assembly, systems integration, and in-service support for the Armed Forces of the UK coupled with AM General’s best-in-class manufacturing and engineering expertise, aftermarket support, and quality products will set the stage for a formidable offering to meet the UK Ministry of Defence’s needs for mission readiness.
“Together with AM General we are developing a compelling case for a collaboration that will combine the best of our respective capabilities,” said Marshall Land Systems CEO Gareth Williams. “This demonstration day is an ideal forum to outline our shared vision for a new generation of mobility for the British Army as we continue to build on our ongoing support for the UK Armed Forces and our proven pedigree of successful industry partnerships, based on more than a century of British engineering excellence.”
