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. The HMMWV survivability improvement initiative (HSII) will be an improvement to the current armored HMMWV ECV which provides an inadequate amount of underbelly protection against current and anticipated future threat levels. Additionally, HSII intends to return lost payload and automotive performance prior to up-armoring light tactical vehicles. Funding will provide development activity by various vendors addressing survivability and automotive performance improvements. 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 developmentby 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. P-19 Replacement will replace the aging A/S32P-19A Crash Fire Rescue fleet in support of expeditionary airfield operations and the supporting establishment. The vehicle will be outfitted with advanced fire suppression equipment and provide rescue and aircraft fire fighting capabilities to permanent and expeditionary airfields throughout the Marine Corps. The P-19 Replacement may also be employed to fight structure fires in support of base camps and as firefighting support to other elements of the MAGTF, such as ammunition supply points, Petroleum, Oil, and Lubricants (POL) distribution points, or hazardous material storage facilities.
