They're humvees, they're unusable from the factory without the juggernaut logistics department of the Army keeping the spare parts flowing.
The enemy capturing that equipment isn't really a concern because they'll never be able to keep it working long enough for it to be a threat; and monetarily it wasn't worth as much as it would cost to recover it. So leaving it to be their problem was the best call.
