You have to go through the law enforcement agency, They pay somewhere in the amount of $300 to belong to the LESO program. After that, you watch the website and put in requests for ones you want. If they are available and you qualify for it, it is yours if they approve it. Only cost is whatever shipping you may have. Very sweet deal if you ask me.

I may have to talk to our Chief of Police. I have heard of FDs qualifying for them as well.

Good luck in your acquisitions
See your State Forester. Thru Fed Forestry. Title program is Fire Fighter Program (FFP. Fairly new and quite a few states don't participate yet. Old loan program is Fed Excess Property Program (FEPP). No charge to the FD.
All HMMWV are loan have to go back the to the DRMO they are issue from (for demil/scrap).
Iowa Forester has decided they won't go the the HMMWV program due to the return issue.

Do they have 6.2's or 6.5's?
Ones I looked over at Ft McCoy were early models. Low mil out of the Guard/Reserves. So as built 6.2l.
I don't know what practice has been in the last 10yrs if brokem 6.2l are replaced with 6.5l?

The first one we got, the tan one, is a 1997 m1113 with 6700 miles. It has the 6.5 turbo in it. The other two are 6.2's.

US forestry Department is not going be using them for Fire departments because they are not rated for the weight of the water tank and pump unit or that is what they have told us. our police department got two and I called to see if we could get some for the FD and that when they told me.
i'm the fire chief for my little town. I can get a Deuce or 5 ton if I want ( which we did get a deuce)

A 6.5 wil fit will replace a 6.2, Had to do that with a cucv out here about 8 months ago have to swap over incection pumps and manifolds but its pretty much a straight up swap, very easy to do.
