Solid Waste Management in Marine Amphibious Force (MAF) Operations: Analysis and Alternatives.

Abstract

The management of Marine Amphibious Force (MAF) generated solid waste is extremely manpower intensive. The components of a MAF wastestream are unique (60% metal). To render immediate relief to these problems, state-of-the-art volume reduction equipment has been recommended provided modification requirements (weight, mobility, ruggedness, etc.) can be met. The scope of the modifications has been investigated, applications/limitations established, and conceptual drawings developed for the fabrication of experimental solid waste management equipment for use in MAF operations.
