What is this

[Typhus Concussion]

Looking for some information on what this is in the middle of the wheel. If I knew the name, I could research it, but looking for some details. Thanks,

Air lift hub bracket. Part number 12338324.

Looks like a lift bracket. Mechanical Mule has a similar arrangement built in, not bolted on.

U shackles on front and back of truck fit those brackets.

I have these mounted on the front wheels too, they can be used as a winch....

place a pipe over this lift bracket and use your D shackle bolts from front or rear bumper D-rings to secure the pipe to the wheel/bracket.
use cable/rope/strap to pull yourself out
google "wheel winch" for examples...
like this one....

They should NOT be on the front hubs!

why not?

We had the same arrangement on the Iltis jeep in the Canadian military which we called the 'unstucker kit'. The drums have to go on the rear because the real wheels can be diff locked so they spin at the same rate. The real wheels also can't turn laterally and inadvertently throw the rope off of the drum.

Wow....there purpose is in the TM, not to mention on the decal on the heater assy.
they are for tieing the truck down on rail cars, and they are only on the rear....

I thought this was the CTIS bracket that holds the air hose?

Military HMMWVs don't have CTIS unless they are a rare exception (I haven't seen one but there might be some randoms out there for some reason...)
