By 1915 the US Army was using trucks tactically, for World War I it began purchasing in large numbers. Early trucks were often designed for both military and commercial use, later military-specific designs were built. Since 1940 the US military has ordered over 3,000,000 tactical trucks. The US Marines have used both US Army and their own specific models, some are shown. The "ton" (907 kg) weight ratings are the payload of a basic cargo version of the truck, not of the individual version. The "wheel arrangement" designation is the number of wheels x the number of driven wheels. There are two wheels per axle, dual tires are counted as one wheel. Some series have both single and dual tire models. "Total built" usually includes for US forces and any export orders. 1915 Name type | Build years | Total built | Notes | Jeffery Quad 2ton 4x4 | 1913 1928 | group=lower-alpha|includes Hudson, National, and Paige-Detroit built}} | Early models had 4-wheel steering | FWD B 3-5 ton 4x4 | 1912 1920+ | group=lower-alpha|includes Mitchel, Kissel, and Preimer built}} | many bodies | Liberty truck 3-5 ton 4x2 | 1917 1918 | 9,452 | built by 15 different manufacturers |
1940 In 1939-1940 the US Army Ordnance Corps was developing a complete line of tactical trucks that could operate off-road in all weather. In 1941 {{frac|1|4}}, {{frac|1|2}}, {{frac| 1|1|2}}, and 3-ton 4x4s and {{frac|2|1|2}}, 4, and {{frac|7|1|2}}-ton 6x6s were in production and several other types had been added. These trucks are named after their type followed by their manufacturer and model. Early use of "M" numbers relate to the body and not the truck itself. During WWII "M" numbers began to be used for new truck models. In 1945 all truck production ended.{{sfnp|Crismon|2001|pp=8-9}}{{sfnp|Ware|2014|pp=58-59}} Name type | Build years | Total built | Notes | group=lower-alpha|Includes Ford GPW}} {{frac|1|4}}-ton 4x4 | 1941 1945 | 639,000+ | Also built by Ford as GPW First "jeep" in the current meaning of the word | {{frac>1|2}}//Chevrolet G506">Chevrolet G506 {{frac|1|1|2}ton 4x4 | 1940 1945 | 168,603 | 15 bodies | group=lower-alpha|name=ch|Includes Chevrolet built}} {{frac|2|1|2}}-ton 6x6 | 1941 1945 | 562,750 | 12+ bodies "Deuce and a Half", "Jimmy". | group=lower-alpha|name=ch}} {{frac|2|1|2}}-ton 6x6 | 1942 1945 | 21,147 | Amphibious version of CCKW "Duck" | group=lower-alpha|Includes REO built}} {{frac|2|1|2}}-ton 6x6 | 1941 1945 | 219,882 | 8 bodies | Diamond T 968 4-ton 6x6 | 1940 1945 | 30,000 | Cargo, dump, wrecker and specialty bodies | Autocar U8144T 5-6 ton 4x4 | 1941 1945 | 2,711 | Semi-tractor for pontoon bridges | Mack NJU 5-6 ton 4x4 | 1941 1942 | 692 | Semi-tractor for pontoon bridges | group=lower-alpha|Includes Corbitt, FWD, Ward LaFrance and White built}} 6-ton 6x6 | 1941 1945 | 219,882 | Bridge, crane, cargo fire, van and others by 5 manufacturers | Mack NM 6-ton 6x6 | 1940 1944 | 8,400+ | Prime mover cargo truck | {{frac>7|1|2}}-ton 6x6 | 1943 1945 | 2,050 | Prime mover cargo truck | M1 Wrecker 10-ton 6x6 | 1941 1945 | 5,765 | Standard heavy wrecker during WWII Built by Ward LaFrance and Kenworth. | Diamond T 980 12-ton 6x4 | 1941 1945 | 6,554 | Tractor for M19 Tank Transporter | Pacific M26 12-ton 6x6 | 1943 1945 | 1,372 | Semi-tractor for M25 Tank Transporter "Dragon Wagon" |
1950 In 1950 the next generation of tactical trucks were being developed. Sizes were rationalized, with {{frac|1|4}} and {{frac|3|4}}-ton 4x4s and {{frac|2|1|2}}, 5, and 10-ton 6x6s. Trucks were military standard designs, 6x6 trucks used common cabs and similar fender and hood styles.{{sfnp|Ware|2014|pp=66-67}} Name type | Build years | Total built | Notes | {{frac>1|4}}-ton 4x4 | 1959 1962 | 3,992 | USMC Lighweight utility truck "Mighty Mite" | {{frac>1|4}}-ton 4x4 | 1952 1971 | Light utility truck "Jeep" | {{frac>1|2}}-ton 4x4 | 1959 | USMC Platform utility truck "Mule" | {{frac>3|4}}-ton 4x4 | 1951 1968 | 136,220 | 10 bodies "Power Wagon" | {{frac>2|1|2}}-ton 6x6 | 1950 1988 | 173,700 | 8+ bodies by 6 manufactures | M54 Series 5-ton 6x6 | 1951 1965 | 156,900 | Cargo, dump, tractor, van, wrecker and others by 5 manufacturers. | M123/M125 10-ton 6x6 | 1955 1969 | 4,132 | semi-tractor for tank transporter prime mover cargo truck |
