Light Infantry Division Ammunition Logistics Enhancements
Abstract
The objective of this study was to assess and resolve ammunition handling, storage, and transportation deficiencies within light infantry divisions (LIDs). The methodology consisted of a detailed literature search and document review; compilation of data to support baseline requirements; development and analysis of baseline requirements; visits to four Army divisions, a Corps headquarters, and agencies involved in the development of concepts and hardware supporting the LID's ammunition logistics system; the identification, compilation, and analysis of shortcomings and deficiencies; the identification of fixes; and the development of an investment strategy. The primary focus of the study was on hardware; however, in the analysis of the information gathered, it was determined that other aspects of the LID ammunition logistics system are noteworthy. In addition to hardware recommendations, this report includes information developed on other aspects of the system. Keywords: Ammunition supply/transfer points; Combat service support; Ammunition resupply.
