Tactical Vehicle Pooling in the Corps/Army Service Area

Abstract

This study explores the concept of tactical vehicle pooling in the context of vehicle fleet planning and the potential reduction of vehicle requirements by means of serving users with pooled rather than organic vehicle fleets. The scope of the effort is limited to the vehicles and units of a type corps/army service area and emphasis is upon development of analytical methods and their application. The tasks, organizational assignments, and operational modes of the corps/army service area fleet are explored for potential vehicle pooling situations. Methods of analyzing pooled versus current vehicle fleet performance are then developed and tested through a series of example problems including cargo/bulk fuel transport, maintenance vehicle operations, and containerization.
