Sulka Transportation Corps School of Advanced Military Studies United States Army Command and General Staff College Fort Leavenworth, Kansas Fit Term AY 91-92 SWOL OF ADVANCED MILITARY STUDIES MONCGRAPH APPROVAL Student: Major Daniel V. Sulka. US Army Title of Monograph: The Palletized Load System.... Just Another Truck? Approve by: Monograph Director Director, School of es R. McDonough, Advanced Military Studies Director, Graduate Philip J. Brookes, PHD Degree Program Accepted this &fP day of -&Zfdk-, 1991 ABSTRACT THE PALLETIZED LOAD SYSTEM.. .. JUST ANOTHER TRUCK? by Major Daniel V. Sulka, USA, 61 pages. This monograph examines the Palletized Load System to determine if it will effectively support the transportation requirements of current and evolving doctrine. The PLS, a self loading and unloading truck and trailer system, will be fielded in the near future. This technology represents a significant investment in addressing shortfalls in ammuni- tion distribution under the Maneuver Oriented Ammunition Distribution System (MOADS). To assess the impact of the Palletized Load System on logisticians' ability to support AirLand Battle doctrine and and the evolving AirLand Operations doctrine, the monograph first traces historical and theoretical influences on the system. These include the evolution of truck technology, the impact of mechanized transport and mobility on doctrine, and the development of unit load devices and containerization. The monograph briefly addresses current transportation chal- lenges, the design of the Palletized Load System, and its planned use. The monograph concludes that the Palletized Load Sys- tem is a natural confluence of the evolution of transporta- tion technologies and the demands of highly mobile forces.

  • Acquisition of the Palletized Load System
    OFFICE OF THE INSPECTOR GENERAL" ACQUISITION OF THE PALLETIZED LOAD SYSTEM Report Number 92-003 October 9, 1991 Department of Defense INSPECTOR GENERAL DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 400 ARMY NAVY DRIVE ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA 22202-2884 October 9, 1991 MEMORANDUM FOR ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF THE ARMY (FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT) SUBJECT: Audit Report on the Acquisition of the Palletized Load System (Report No. 92-003) We are providing this final report for your information and use. Comments on a draft of this report were considered in preparing the final report. We performed the audit from September 1989 through January 1991 as part of our continuing review of major acquisition programs. The Army had not accurately quantified the acquisition requirements for the PLS program and had not determined the cost­ effectiveness of all planned uses of the PLS. As a result, the acquisition requirements for the PLS were misstated by about $653.8 million. Also, the Army could unnecessarily spend at least $279.8 million by using the PLS to support Multiple Launch Rocket System units. DoD Directive 7650.3 requires that all audit recommendations be resolved promptly. Therefore, the Assistant Secretary of the Army (Financial Management) must provide final comments on the unresolved recommendations by December 9, 1991. The courtesies extended to the audit staff are appreciated. If you have any questions on this audit, please contact Mr. Rayburn H. Stricklin at (703) 614-3965 (DSN 224-3965) or Mr. Verne F. Petz at (703) 693-0388 (DSN 223-0388). Copies of this report are being provided to the activities listed in Appendix H.
