Kaiser Jeep
Kaiser Jeep resulted from the 1953 merger of Kaiser Motors, an independent automaker, passenger car maker based in Willow Run, Michigan, with the Toledo, Ohio-based Willys, Willys-Overland Company. Willys-Overland had been at one point before World War II the U.S.'s second-largest car-maker after Ford Motor Company, Ford, but their fortunes waned during the 1930s. Willys survived during the war by getting the primary contract to build the Willys MB, U.S. World War II jeeps for the American and Allied armed forces. From 1945, Willys focused almost exclusively on selling Jeep-branded vehicles, both civilian and commercial, as well as government and military jeeps. For Kaiser, the Jeep brand and its models were considered the crown jewels in the merger with Willys-Overland. In 1955, Kaiser phased out all Kaiser and Willys passenger car lines, and Kaiser (initially still under the name 'Willys Motors') became entirely focused on Jeep products in most markets. In 1963, the company co ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Military Trucks Of The United States
A military, also known collectively as armed forces, is a heavily armed, highly organized force primarily intended for warfare. Militaries are typically authorized and maintained by a sovereign state, with their members identifiable by a distinct military uniform. They may consist of one or more military branches such as an army, navy, air force, space force, marines, or coast guard. The main task of a military is usually defined as defence of their state and its interests against external armed threats. In broad usage, the terms "armed forces" and "military" are often synonymous, although in technical usage a distinction is sometimes made in which a country's armed forces may include other paramilitary forces such as armed police. Beyond warfare, the military may be employed in additional sanctioned and non-sanctioned functions within the state, including internal security threats, crowd control, promotion of political agendas, emergency services and reconstruction, pro ...
