Commando Jeep

The Commando Jeep is a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) tactical vehicle based on the Jeep Wrangler with a factory installed turbodiesel engine operating on JP-8 and global diesel fuels. It is a vehicle modified for use by airborne forces, special operations forces, and combat engineers.

Overview
The military jeep was created by American Bantam for U.S. Army use in 1940, but most subsequent production was by Willys-Overland and Ford. Jeep Wranglers assembled at Chrysler's Toledo Complex are used by Hendrick Dynamics in North Carolina to build Commando Jeep. Manufactured in the United States, Commando complies with the Buy American Act.

The Commando, produced in two-door, four-door, and pickup truck configurations, includes a roll over protective structure, military bumpers, heavy-duty tie-downs, Kevlar reinforced tires, suspension enhancements, electrical, lighting and other tactical modifications. It is certified for internal transport via CH-47 helicopters and other military transport aircraft. Commando Jeep completed the U.S. Army's Ultra Light Combat Vehicle (ULCV) platform performance demonstration (PPD).
