It's the drain for the fuel filter water seperator. With the engine running you momentarily crack it open to drain out any water that might has gotten into the fuel system. 99.999% of the time is stays shut.

This stuff is all in the TM 9 2320-280-10 manual and something you should read cover to cover if your going to own a HMMWV. It talks about fluid capacities, road speeds, vehicle confogurations and the stuff you need to know about as an owner/operator.
