Rail Outloading Capability Study, Fort Carson, Colorado,

Abstract

The Deputy Chief of Staff for Logistics requested that MTMC conduct deployment studies of four Army divisions; Fort Carson, whose main entrance is on US Highway 85 approximately 3 miles south of Colorado Springs, Colorado, was one of the four. This report covers the rail outloading phase of the deployment. The principal objective of the study was to determine Fort Carson's ability to support the deployment of the 4th Infantry Division. The study was to include also any physical improvements that could significantly increase present capabilities, as well as consideration of commercial facilities within 25 miles of Fort Carson.
