Army Transportation Systems in a Twenty-First Century Joint Operational Environment
Abstract
Five components of the U.S. Army Transportation Systems collectively meet the Army s transportation contribution to move and sustain the Joint Force. These systems include rail vehicles, aircraft, wheeled vehicles, water craft, and movement control. This paper will examine the current state of Army Transportation following over a decade of war. The analysis begins with priorities for reset and overall cost of equipment and personnel to sustain Army Transportation Systems for future, twenty-first-century operations. These analyses will identify gaps and provide recommendations to eliminate needless redundancies. Finally, transportation planning must anticipate future problems and challenges in order to streamline and synchronize transportation systems for joint operations in support of GCCs.
