At River Bend Defense, we don’t just provide customized parts. We help ensure Sgt. Smith completes the mission and returns safely.
For over three decades, we’ve been an integrated partner in AM General’s commitment to Sergeant Smith, delivering components that perform when it matters most. Today, RBIS supplies over 1000 critical parts for the Humvee and next-generation JLTV A2.
From the original Humvee to the cutting-edge JLTV-A2, we’ve evolved alongside AM General. We’ve continuously adapted to meet changing battlefield requirements and provided the reliability the DOD count on. This isn’t just business; it’s a shared mission and commitment to national security.
