The DSCA said the approval covered a total of 517 Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Trucks (HEMTTs) and Heavy Equipment Transporters (HETs), both of which are made by Oshkosh, but provided a breakdown that only added up to 369. This included 188 M985A4 HEMTT Guided Missile Transporters, 100 HEMTT M978A4 fuel tankers, 31 HEMTT M984A4 recovery variants, and 50 M1070A1 HETs.

It also listed 50 Fontaine 635NL trailers for the HETs, 49 Oshkosh M1076A0 Palletised Load System (PLS) trailers, and an unspecified number of Etnyre M1077 flatrack dismountable beds for the PLS trailers.

“Kuwait will use these heavy vehicles to transport and support heavy equipment, including their legacy M1A2 tanks and their new M1A2K main battle tank slated for delivery in 2021,” the DSCA said.
