An electrified military vehicle system includes a first military vehicle and the second military vehicle. The first military vehicle includes a prime mover configured to drive the first military vehicle and a first mechanical coupling interface positioned at a rear end of the first military vehicle. The second military vehicle includes an axle, a second mechanical coupling interface positioned at a front end of the second military vehicle where the second mechanical coupling interface is configured to engage with the first mechanical coupling interface to selectively couple the second military vehicle to the first military vehicle, an energy storage system, and a generator coupled to the axle and electrically coupled to the energy storage system. The generator is configured to generate electric power while the axle rotates as the second military vehicle is towed by the first military vehicle to charge the energy storage system.
