As part of the agreement, Oshkosh will supply two DXPV training kits aimed at supporting readiness for Dutch soldiers.
According to the company, these kits will allow personnel to begin training without delay, facilitating a smooth transition and maintaining operational capability.

The sustained trust of our European allies reinforces our role as the mobility partner of choice, delivering integrated solutions that enhance readiness and equip Soldiers for today’s evolving battlefield.”
