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 ammunition 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 challenges, the design of the Palletized Load System, and its planned use.
