摘要：	From the earliest days of ocean commerce until the early 1960s, the method of loading and accounting for cargo aboard ships changed very little--cargo was lifted aboard one piece at a time and manually documented. With the innovation of the shipping container, transportation efficiency vastly improved. Rapid loading and automated documentation were two of the reasons for the increased efficiency. For a variety of reasons, the military has lagged behind the commercial transportation industry in the use of containers. As a result, the military lacks a viable method of determining container content using documentation alone. This inability to determine container content was demonstrated in the port of Dammam during Desert Shield/Storm. Of the 40,000 containers in the port, 25,000 required opening to determine their contents.
