JLG buiilt the M-ATV
BAE built MRAP's as well
JLG built the cabs for all the M-ATV's and did the assembly work on half the part total M-ATV's built by Oshkosh, assembling complete vehicles that were ready to be shipped. It wasnt a knock down plant they put the complete vehicle together piece by piece, welding it together and then doing all the assembly of all the various pieces.
Plasan was on site working to assist with building the capsules (which is what we called the cabs) along with supplier and JLG personnel.
So yes during that time period the plant was basically a fully operational light armored vehicle manufacturing facility.
FYI - ballistic armor and glass isnt made by any armored vehicle supplier in the US - that armor and glass comes from suppliers - when I was at BAE we had all our armor plate and ballistic glass shipped in - we didnt make it ourselves.
