摘要：	Sixteen students and an instructor from the National Defense University's (NDU) Eisenhower School for National Security and Resource Strategy got a first-hand look at the country's rivers and towboats during a two-day transportation and logistics field trip that focused on the inland waterways. Students from the NDU program, based at Fort McNair in Washington, D.C., visited Pine Bluff Sand & Gravel's Nashville facility and rode a Hines Furlong towboat. They also toured Fort Campbell, Ingram Barge Company's Paducah, Ky., training facility, Kentucky Lock and Seamen's Church Institute's (SCI) Center for Maritime Education, among other sites, as part of the trip March 28 and 29. Waterways Council, Inc. (WCI) arranged the stopping points on the tour, designed to provide a primer on inland waterways transport, and was honored to do so, WCI senior vice president Deb Calhoun said. While WCI has provided information for more than a decade on the inland waterways sector to NDU students taking the 10-month, master's level national security resource and strategy course, field trips vary each year among different transportation modes, and it was the group's first trip to Paducah, said Steven Dubernas, professor of transportation and logistics industry study.
