The '''Logistic Vehicle System Replacement''' ('''LVSR)''') is a family of vehicles, based on a common 5-axle [[ten-wheel drive]] (10x10) chassis, that vary in individual configuration by mission requirements. The LVSR was designed and is manufactured by [[Oshkosh Corporation|Oshkosh Defense]].<ref name="LVSR: The Marines’ Heavy Trucks"/> LVSR is a purpose-designed military vehicle and there are currently three variants in service, a cargo, a [[Tow truck|wrecker]] and a [[Tractor unit|tractor truck]].<ref name="LVSR: The Marines’ Heavy Trucks"/>

The first LVSRs were ordered in 2006. The LVSR is the [[United States Marine Corps|U.S. Marines’]] equivalent of the [[United States Army|U.S. Army’s]] [[Oshkosh Corporation|Oshkosh]] [[Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck]] (HEMTT) and Oshkosh [[Palletized Load System]] (PLS). The Marines do not use the HEMTT or PLS<ref name="Logistics Vehicle System Replacement (LVSR)"/> and the Army does not use the LVSR, but both services use a common trailer (M1076) with all three truck types.
