Container System Hardware

Abstract

Today virtually all of the products and equipment shipped overseas as well as by rail are shipped using some form of shipping container. The Merchant Marine industry has made the transition from the breakbulk fleet of the past to the current containership fleet which has made the Department of Defense (DOD) examine the ways developed forces are supported in contingency situations. This publication was initiated in 1977 by the former office of the Project Manager, Army Container Oriented Distribution System to provide information to various Army activities which had an interest in the development and fielding of the Container Oriented Distribution System. Keywords: Ammunition restraint;; General cargo; Refrigerated container; Load and roll pallet; Ammunition containerization evaluation; Spreader bars, intermodal container handling; Mobile loading ramp.
