Division Mission/Objective/Purpose
Division Objectives
The primary objective of the Tactical Wheeled Vehicle Division of NDIA is to enhance the security of the United States by promoting communications and interaction between defense industry, government and military in the area of automotive activities.
The specific charter of the Tactical Wheeled Vehicle Division is to conduct conferences in technology areas directly related to automotive research, design, development, test and production. Such conferences are intended to present advanced technology and provide for an exchange of information and an interchange of views between defense industry, government and military representatives. The effective cooperation between these three groups is vital to our defense effort in the tactical wheeled vehicle area. Each group brings unique inputs to such conferences. No one group can function at maximum effectiveness without the other two.
Specific Objectives:
- To serve as an effective communications vehicle for the exchange of views and information between government and industry on matters of common concern.
- To foster mutual understanding and effective working relationships between government and industry in order to achieve a sound body of government policy and procedures which will serve both the security objectives of the United Sates as well as the commercial interests of its industry.
- To provide government with industry advice on government policies, practices and procedures and industry's needs and problems within the Division's purview.
Mission Responsibility
To promote national exchanges between the Defense Department, government agencies and industry, of information relating to the design, development, acquisition and support of vehicles and vehicle systems employed in land and amphibious military operations.

Division Meetings & Events
The annual Tactical Wheeled Vehicles Conference is the only one held annually that is specific to the military’s Tactical Wheeled Vehicle community. It has historically brought Department of Defense representatives, prime contractors, subcontractors, and their suppliers together to discuss present and future wheeled vehicle requirements for all services. It has afforded an atmosphere for open discussions between the customers and the suppliers based on the needs of the military users. The information presented is valuable to program managers, engineers, planners and marketers. In addition, open discussions will be invaluable to DoD planners and program managers.
