so wrong...The Oklahoma Natioma Guard is adding 39 HMMWVs to the Hooks collection.
The rep I talked to said they will be shipped there next month. He didn't understand why I didn't want to bid on them

My local police department just got 2 of them. The local paper said that they will drive one and use one for parts. They also said that the gov't has about 30,000 of them that are available to police departments and other government agencies. I'm thinking that Monkeyboyarmyville should get a couple.

I am pretty sure that any HMMWVs that goes to a local municipality cannot be resold to the general public at auction when they are done with them. They would have to turn them back over to the DRMO to be destroyed or given to another government entity.

Wouldn't surprise me. You look close enough, there's a tan CUCV in one of 'em. At least when I was there anyways. We really never had anything quite THAT old down in the 3rd BDE motorpool. I would go into specifics, but with OPSEC and all... As far as finding a milspec HMMWV, the Army never gives those things up. They'll sooner take 'em out and have PFC Snuffy shoot AT-4's at them than they will sell them. Best bet seems to be the Marines and local government offices (sheriff's office, emergency management services, etc) that manage to get ahold of them and auction them off.
