FY82 Posture Report.
Abstract
MERADCOM conducts one of the Army's most widely diversified programs in the development of combat support and battlefield support materiel designed to enhance the mobility and survivability of friendly forces and to deny mobility to the enemy. It also serves as the Army's lead laboratory for countermine and camouflage technologies. MERADCOM occupies a 240-acre wooded peninsula on the Potomac River adjacent to Mount Vernon and a 820-acre test area near Springfield, Virginia, and controls the US Army Fuels and Lubricants Research Laboratory, a Government-owned/contractor-operated facility in San Antonio, Texas. The Command's research, development, engineering, and initial production buys are geared to satisfy approved Army requirements to provide the United States with a superior combat and deterrent force in the major program areas of Mobility/Countermobility, Survivability, Energy, and Logistics. The principal thrust of these program areas is the fielding of combat support and combat service support equipment, but additional development falling within the Command's many areas of expertise is performed for other commands, project managers, DOD organizations, and government agencies.
