Following its adoption by the U.S. military, the High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (more popularly known as the Humvee) found success in the commercial market as the Hummer H1. It looks like the Humvee’s replacement might have the same civilian market appeal.
GM Defense’s Infantry Squad Vehicle (ISV) was selected by the Army in 2020 to replace the iconic Humvee. The truck is based on the Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 and features 70% commercial off-the-shelf components—and the first Infantry Squad Vehicle made available to the civilian market.

According to budget documents released by the Air Force, troops deployed to war zones could see their special pay doubled next year if a new Pentagon proposal is approved by Congress.
Currently, troops who are deployed in designated combat zones receive up to $225 per month in imminent danger pay or hostile fire pay. That number could double to $450 each month later this year, according to Air Force budget officials, if Congress approves a proposal in the Pentagon’s fiscal year 2027 budget request.
Seeing the YF-118G, like we did last year at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force, makes one stop in their tracks. And we have the original photos below to prove it.

It smelled like old diesel and sounded like the apocalypse. Its bench was a wooden plank bolted to an aluminum frame that felt purposefully designed to make your back hurt and your legs go numb.

The morning of Nov. 12, 2016, began like any other at Bagram Airfield, the largest American military installation in Afghanistan at the time. By mid-morning, five people were dead and 17 others were wounded. Among them was a young Army specialist who lost the use of his left hand, arm and the left side of his face while trying to stop the bomber before he reached a larger crowd.
Nearly a decade later, the U.S. Supreme Court says that soldier has the right to make someone answer for it.

“Behind every redaction is a story someone didn’t want told.”
That powerful idea sits at the heart of “Secrets Declassified with David Duchovny” on History, which just returned for its second season. It immediately captures the imagination. From bizarre weapons and hidden subterranean sites to wild experiments and extreme extraction missions, the series pulls back the curtain on government secrets from modern history that many suspected existed but were never fully explained.
