The World War II U.S. Army truck, known as the 1/4-ton, 4×4, Command Reconnaissance Car, is more commonly referred to as the Willys Jeep.
This vehicle was designed for reconnaissance and command duties, noted for its versatility, ruggedness and off-road capability.
Capable of carrying up to 1/4 ton, it had four-wheel drive, making it ideal for traversing difficult terrain and fulfilling various roles on the front lines.
The Willys Jeep became a symbol of American military mobility during World War II.
Its development began in 1940, with companies such as Willys-Overland and Ford mass-producing the vehicle to Army specifications.
More than 640,000 units were produced during the war.
In addition to its combat use, it was employed for medical evacuation, supply transport and patrols.
