Citing information published on June 4, 2025, by Yabiladi, a Moroccan digital news platform, the first shipment of U.S.-manufactured M-ATV (MRAP All-Terrain Vehicles) for the Moroccan Armed Forces arrived at the port of Casablanca on June 3, 2025. This delivery represents a key milestone in the modernization of Morocco’s tactical vehicle fleet, enhancing the mobility and survivability of its land forces across varied operational theaters.
The M-ATV, produced by American Company Oshkosh Defense, is a mine-resistant, ambush-protected vehicle engineered to deliver MRAP-level protection with superior off-road performance. It is optimized for operations in rugged terrain and hostile environments, offering increased protection against improvised explosive devices, small arms fire, and underbody blasts. The arrival of these vehicles aligns with Morocco’s ongoing investment in high-mobility platforms capable of supporting counterinsurgency, peacekeeping, and rapid response missions. A total of 50 M-ATVs are expected to be delivered under the current program, sourced through U.S. Army surplus channels and refurbished to operational standards.
