* AM General Cutting 300 Jobs *
. . . AM General Cutting 300 Jobs Manufacturing.Net - January 17, 2011 . . . .MISHAWAKA, Ind. (AP) -- AM General plans to lay off 300 workers from the northern Indiana factory that makes Humvees for the military.. . . .Company spokeswoman Celeste Ross says the jobs cuts at the Mishawaka (mish-ah-WAH'-kuh) factory were needed because the military has been ordering fewer of the hulking all-terrain vehicles. The new round of layoffs will start Feb. 14 and follow the layoffs of about 250 workers a year ago. . . .Ross tells WNDU-TV that the company is stabilizing its production rate and expects that to remain steady for the foreseeable future. . . .WSBT-TV reports the company also is optimistic that it could add hundreds of jobs as production starts on a wheelchair accessible vehicle known as MV-1s that run on compressed natural gas. .

This is somewhat old news. The Humvee has been in production for about 25 years and is being replaced with a stronger truck.
But the old Hummer is not going away. Worn out and shot up ones are shipped to the Red River Army Depot in Texas and rebuilt. When they come out of the shop they look and run better than when they were new. Every part of the depot that has a road through it has Hummers parked everywhere, and those jobs are going to be around for a long time. I think the new truck is to be built by Oskosh. Their truck will also replace one that was built by Steward and Stevenson outside of Katy, Texas. |

The Humvee work went to Wisconsin -- some of it, at least.

They do have some inherent flaws that you either have to fix or live with.
