| 摘要： | In most military operations, early deployment cargo moves on military assets. However, most military cargo, personnel and war-fighting assets now move on commercial assets. Current Department of Defense (DoD) policy is to transport personnel, equipment, and sustainment using commercial assets when practical and prudent. Even in contingency situations, commercial railroads, truck lines, ocean carriers, barge-towing industry, airlines, and bus companies play a critical role in projecting U.S. forces from the continental United States (CONUS) and outside CONUS locations to the theater of operations. A major issue facing the commercial transportation industry and DoD is the declining excess capacity of the system. Other issues include a shortage of seafarers and longshoremen in the ocean carrier industry. DoD responded to the airline industry problem by implementing the Civil Reserve Air Fleet Program and to the commercial ocean-shipping problem with the Voluntary Intermodal Sealift Agreement program. Because of the military's conservative nature, the research community has the lead in developing and using advanced technology. The Transportation Research Board's Committee on Military Transportation is a mechanism to bring military, business, and research centers together to ensure that the latest developments in transportation are made available to solve military transportation problems. |
