Trusted Partner for More than a Century

International Harvester M-41 vehicle being tested during World War II.

The quality and dependability of our trucks and our unwavering dedication to service and support, have established Navistar Defense as a true partner to the United States military and allies around the world.

Building on a History of Excellence

With roots going back to the International Harvester Company, we’ve become a leader in the design, manufacture and support of a full range of advanced military vehicles. We continue to evolve with a new commitment to research and development, innovative product engineering and unmatched support services.

Answering the Call since WWII

While International Harvester started in farm equipment, the company was quickly pressed into service to produce military vehicles for World War I. We gained even more valuable military experience when we switched over our entire commercial operations during World War II to produce M-series trucks for the Marine Corps and Navy. Our vehicles earned a reputation for toughness and durability under extreme battlefield conditions. A reputation that lives on today in our Navistar Defense brand military vehicles.
