Shared truck-family research is not HEMTT-only R&D
PB2025 includes $50M of FHTV research covering broader modernization and Common Tactical Truck work. It is not attributed wholly to HEMTT.
A recapitalized truck is not a new production truck
The Army describes remanufacturing older A0/A2 vehicles to A4 configuration. Retained material, variant and support scope affect comparisons with new builds.
