The U.S. Army Defense Ammunition Center and School (USADACS), Validation Engineering Division (SIOAC-DEV), was tasked by the U.S. Army Tank-automotive and Armaments Command (TACOM) to test the ISO-Compatible Palletized Flatrack (IPF) on the Palletized Loading System (PLS5) with ammunition loads for compliance with Transportability Testing Procedures, TP-94-Oi, July 1994.
