Gates to visit Oshkosh plant

November 12, 2009 By Bob Hague

Defense Secretary Robert Gates will visit the Oshkosh Corporation today, a day after the maker of heavy duty trucks received a $438 million order, its fifth from the military for mine-resistant M-ATVs. The trucks, produced by the Wisconsin based firm’s defense division, are used in Afganistan.

Since June, the Pentagon has ordered more than 6,200 trucks, for more than $3.2 billion. Gates’ visit will give him a firsthand look at where the vehicles are built.
