When completed in late 2015, the $25 million facility is expected to add 160 employees, doubling the workforce of the previous facility. e company received $2 million in assistance from the city of Oshkosh in the form of property tax reimbursements on the new facility. e state of Wisconsin provided $2 million in low or no interest loans, one of which does not have to be repaid provided the company creates the 160 jobs it expects. e city also modernized the storm water drainage plan for the industrial park hosting the new facility, further enhancing the park, one of the city's older industrial areas, for other expansions. Keep on truckin' Uncle Sam must think Oshkosh Defense was particularly good last year. In mid-December, the U.S. Army ordered 256 trucks and trailers from Oshkosh Defense's Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles line totaling $67 million. e Army will take delivery in 2015 and 2016. Oshkosh began producing FMTVs for the U.S. Army in 2010. Since then, Oshkosh has delivered more than 22,000 trucks and 11,000 trailers. e FMTV program supports the U.S. Army and National Guard at home and abroad in tactical and combat operations, relief efforts and unit resupply missions. e vehicles feature crew-protecting armor and advanced technologies to provide the capability, versatility, mobility and protection to move troops and supplies, recover vehicles and weapon systems or haul equipment wherever the mission requires.
