Originally designed for the U.S. Army to use in active military zones, LMTVs were subject to significant wear and tear while in service. There was no standardized maintenance program for the LMTV, so each military unit had vastly different service schedules and plans for each truck. Every LMTV in the military also had a lifetime budget, or a set amount of dollars used for maintenance. Once that threshold was reached, the LMTVs were retired from active military service.
