Roll-On/Roll-Off Phase 2. Field Test Plan

Abstract

This program's purpose is to test the capabilities of the Services to delivery logistic support from merchant ships to forces ashore in objective areas where there are no usable port facilities. The test program is divided into three phases: Phase I, the Deployment Test, will evaluate the capabilities of the Services to deploy their logistics delivery systems in merchant ships to any objective area. Phase II, the Roll-On/Roll-Off (RO/RO) Test, will evaluate the capabilities of the Services to utilize ramps, platforms and lighterage that permit the off-shore discharge of RO/RO ships. Phase III, the Throughput Test, will evaluate the capabilities of the Services to install and operate their delivery systems for container, breakbulk, and bulk POL cargo. This test plan covers Phase II, which includes the loading of selected wheeled and tracked vehicles on two types of RO/RO ships and off-shore discharge of these vehicles via a RO/RO Calm Water Offload Facility and selected lighterage.
