History

Produced by Willys-Overland through-out the war, the US Willy's Jeep was their main light transport and towing vehicle. The Jeep was used to carry reconnaissance troops, tow light guns and trailers, transport wounded, and carry officers and support personnel. It's simple design and excellent off-road mobility earned it a reputation for being reliable. British forces also acquired Jeeps for their own usage, and were most prominently used by their Commando and Airborne troops as transports once the invasion had moved inland.

The version in Company of Heroes is armed with an M1919 .30cal machine-gun, but the Jeep could also mount the M2HB .50cal machine-gun for anti-air defense.
