Future contingencies will require heavy reliance on the use of containers for the shipment of all commodities. Over the past two decades, the shift by the Merchant Marine industry from the breakbulk fleet to containerships has compelled the Department of Defense to examine its programs to support deployed forces and projected contingencies. In order to report on the status of programs associated with containerization, the publication of this report was initiated by the former Office of the Project Manager, Army Container Oriented Distribution System to provide information to various Army activities having an interest in the development and fielding of the Container Oriented Distribution System. In response to the request of the Joint Intermodal Steering Group (formerly the Joint Container Steering Group) the status of systems hardware items of the Departments of the Navy and Air Force have been included in this publication beginning with the Jan 79 issue. In a the 1983 edition, material was organized by categories of utilization rather than by service application. In addition, a section was added to report on the number of ISO shelters in the military logistics system. Partial contents: Container Equipment; Handling equipment; Transportation Equipment; Lots, Harbor, and Container, Offload and Transfer Equipment System; and Aerial Port and Terminal Equipment.
