Default Impact on availability of HMMWV's?

UPDATE:GM's Deal To Sell Hummer To Chinese Company Falls Through - WSJ.com

Does anyone think this will change the current policy on the surplusing of these vehicles?

Do you think DRMS cares about that? Even if they did, just about every wheeled and tracked vehicle in the US inventory is going thru a RESET/RECAP program, where used up vehicles are stripped down and rebuilt at a huge cost savings to the taxpayer.

I wouldnt hold my breath for a change to HMMWV demil policy.

Nope, they are selling the name, not AM General.

I'd doubt it, the muttonheads in Washington that make the rules probably won't reverse themselves. You know the "thats the way it's always been crowd". They will probably say that the humvee doesn't meet current road standards.

GM owns "HUMMER", not the HMMWV.

I was under the impression that the reason for the current demil policy was that GM did not want any competition for their H1?

thought I read that somewhere here. . .

Not the same company, as stated a dozen times. The HMMWV is built by AM General, as was the Hummer H!. The goofy H2 and H3 are Hummer/GM. Who cares what happens to Hummer.

OK, they sold them the name. If you look at the one they build, they look simular but not the same. No demil will happen. Even there army is using them, but they are the same as a H1 in what it can do. NOT a HMMWV. It is a AM General Chassis.
