Printing of Military Service Newspapers in Southeast Asia Instead of Airlift from Japan Could Mean Substantial Savings

Abstract

During a survey of the transportation activities of the Department of Defense (DOD) in the Far East and Southeast Asia, the General Accounting Office (GAO) observed that large quantities of Pacific Stars and Stripes and other military service newspapers were being airlifted from Japan to Southeast Asia for distribution. GAO wanted to find out if savings in transportation costs could be achieved by printing the newspapers at some point nearer to the readers.
