MOUNT PLEASANT, SC - GM Defense and the Medal of Honor Foundation today announced the first-ever public sale of an Infantry Squad Vehicle-Utility (ISV-U), to be auctioned at Barrett-Jackson, The World's Greatest Collector Car Auctions, in Palm Beach, Florida.

This auction marks a historic moment, as the platform is made available to the public for the first time.

Built on the Chevrolet Colorado midsize truck platform, the ISV-U is powered by a 2.8L Duramax turbo-diesel engine paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. Its open roll-cage design and expeditionary footprint enable it to support a wide range of mission applications, including logistics, command and control, reconnaissance, electronic warfare, and counter-unmanned systems.

The featured vehicle also carries a custom livery honoring the Medal of Honor, recognizing America's 250th anniversary, and acknowledging the U.S. Army units actively employing this platform in service today.

This auction reflects the continued partnership between GM Defense and the Medal of Honor Foundation, established in 2025, to expand awareness, deepen engagement, and extend the reach of the Medal's legacy.

All funds from the sale will directly support the Medal of Honor Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and the official philanthropic arm of the Congressional Medal of Honor Society. The Foundation secures private support to care for living Recipients and their families, preserve their stories, and advance educational initiatives that promote the Medal's core values of courage, sacrifice, commitment, integrity, citizenship, and patriotism.

"Partnering with the Medal of Honor Foundation to offer this ISV-U at Barrett-Jackson is a powerful way to connect our mission-focused technology with a cause that honors the very best of American service," said Steve duMont, president, GM Defense. "This vehicle was designed to help soldiers accomplish their missions in the toughest conditions, and we're proud that its first public sale will directly support the Foundation's work to care for Recipients, preserve their stories and inspire future generations with the values embodied in the Medal of Honor."

"The legacy of the Medal of Honor requires people and partners who are willing to stand behind it and ensure its meaning does not erode over time. We are deliberate about who we stand alongside, because the Medal carries a responsibility that cannot be taken lightly," said Britt Slabinski, President of the Congressional Medal of Honor Society. "GM Defense has demonstrated a clear commitment to honoring service in a real way. The resources generated through this auction will directly strengthen our ability to preserve the Medal's legacy, care for Recipients, and project the values of the Medal forward to the next generation."
