Motor Transport Mod

Abstract

The Marine Corps Tactical Transportation Program manages procurement and life cycle sustainment for more than 40,000 principle end items divided among four fleets: Light Fleet, Medium Fleet, Heavy Fleet, and Special Fleet. A sustained effort is maintained in the Marine Corps for development and testing in support of fleet Service Life Extension Program (SLEP) initiatives, vehicle quality deficiency resolutions, safety initiatives, environmental/state transportation mandated vehicle changes, and system component refresh modifications efforts. Given transportation asset operational availability declines at a steady rate over time, SLEP, Fleet overhauls, and enhanced depot level modifications are essential in maintaining a viable transportation capability in the Marine Corps Operating Forces. Improved Recovery Vehicle (IRV) project includes improvements in all areas of the M88A2 Improved Recovery Vehicle. Continued funding is required to address obsolescence and support pre-planned product improvements. Additionally, funding will provide development activity by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) to address lessons learned and develop safety related engineering change proposals (ECPS) to correct hazards noted during the standard day to day operation of the M88A2 Improved Recovery Vehicle.
