The M1113 was a contracted Humvee for the U.S. Army. It is an Expanded Capacity Vehicle, which means it has a larger, heavier communications shelter and better armor protection for military and security police explosive disposal and scouts. The M1113 was the base for special ops vehicles, and it has been, to at least some extent, the basis for all the variants that came after it, from the M1114, an up-armored armament carrier, to the M1167, a TOW carrier. In 2017, AM General secured a $2.2 billion contract to deliver 11,560 new Humvees (including M1114s) by 2022.
