The second world war marked the inauguration of a brand new era of mechanized warfare. To remain competitive, the U.S. military threw all of its substantial industrial strength into the war effort, becoming a hub of manufacturing and innovation. At that time, the country developed military-grade vehicles that fundamentally changed the battlefield. (Here is a look at <\/span>the 18 biggest battles of World War II.<\/span>)<\/span><\/p>\n Even before the U.S. entered the war, the government issued a request for proposal for auto manufacturers to design a go-anywhere, do-anything vehicle to supplant the use of horses and <\/span>mules in th<\/span>e Army. The end result was the now-iconic vehicle nicknamed \u201cJeep\u201d – s<\/span>hort for <\/span>general purpose. By the end of the war, Ford Motor Company and Willys-Overland had produced more than<\/span> 600<\/span>,000 of these vehicles for hauling troops and material across Europe and the Pacific Islands.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In the years since 1945, the U.S. has maintained its status as a global military super power, and doing so has required continued innovation and development of military vehicles.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n 24\/7 Wall St. reviewed a range of government websites and military publications, including <\/span>militaryfactory.com<\/span>, to identify each overland vehicle most widely used by the U.S. military. Vehicles are listed alphabetically.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The vehicles on this list include personnel carriers, assault vehicles, tanks, and more. Many are highly specialized for certain missions and environments. Others, like the Humvee, can serve a wide variety of purposes and are ubiquitous on American military bases across the country and around the world.
