On Tuesday, the General Motors subsidiary GM Defense officially opened a new facility producing infantry squad vehicles (ISV) for the Army.

"Today is a really exciting day for us," Steve DuMont, president of GM Defense, said. "We’re opening up this facility now where we’re going to build the Army’s infantry squad vehicle.”

DuMont said Tuesday's event is the country’s first look at how they look and operate.

"These are the first vehicles now just rolling off our new production facility we have here,” DuMont said.

The facility is located in Concord, and in 90 days went from an empty room to a fully functioning facility. What's unique about these is that they are 90% commercial parts.
