28 Jun 13. The Army found itself in the uncomfortable position of defending the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle program yet again, this time after the commandant of the Marine Corps suggested that he was not willing to pursue JLTV at the expense of other priorities should the automatic budget cuts triggered by sequestration remain permanent.
While praising JLTV, Army and Defense Department officials, however, did not answer specific questions regarding statements made by Marine Corps Commandant Gen. James Amos, who told reporters on June 27 that he was not willing to “die in a ditch” over JLTV if sequestration remains in place.

It is unclear if the matter is being discussed at the Pentagon, though any meaningful decisions are likely to remain in limbo until the sequestration debate is allowed to play out on Capitol Hill. Army Col. David Bassett, the deputy program executive officer for combat support and combat service support, told Inside the Army in a statement that JLTV remains essential to the Army. “The Joint Light Tactical Vehicle remains a key Army modernization priority and a great joint partnership, and it is essential to filling a critical capability gap in today’s light tactical vehicle fleets,” he said. “The Joint Program Office continues to diligently monitor and work to mitigate any budgetary changes, as sequestration impacts acquisition programs across the military.” Amos’ June 27 comments followed a June 14 media event hosted by the Army and Marine Corps, in which both services discussed their deep commitment to the JLTV as a critical modernization program (ITA, June 17). This is not the first time the Army has felt a need to defend the JLTV following Marine Corps comments suggesting that sequestration might force the Marines to re-think their position on the truck program. Heidi Shyu, the Army’s chief acquisition executive, had to address questions earlier this year after Marine Corps Lt. Gen. Jo
