Item 1. Security and Issuer
This statement constitutes Amendment No. 3 to the Schedule 13D relating to
the Common Stock, par value $0.01 (the "Shares"), issued by Oshkosh Corporation
(the "Issuer"), and hereby amends the Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on June 30, 2011 and amended by Amendment Nos. 1 and 2

Persons (as defined in the Initial Schedule 13D), to furnish the additional

otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Initial
Schedule 13D.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
Item 4 of the Initial Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the
following:
Mr. Icahn stated during a telephone interview on CNBC on December 6, 2011,
in response to a question regarding the fact that he owns stock of both the
Issuer and Navistar International Corporation, that the Reporting Persons
believe there may be significant synergies between the Issuer and Navistar and
that shareholders of both companies could benefit from these synergies and that
the Reporting Persons would be supportive of a merger. The Reporting Persons
believe that synergy driven consolidation will be a primary method for defense
contractors to drive earnings and cost savings in the years ahead.
