Today, virtually all of the commercial products and equipment shipped overseas, as well as by rail, are shipped using some form of intermodal container. The Merchant Marine Industry has made the transition from the breakbulk fleet of the past to the current containership fleet. Because of the Merchant marine Industry's impact on the transportation of supplies by sea, the Department of Defense (DOD) has placed an increasing emphasis on containers to deploy and support forces in overseas contingency situations. Within DOD, the deployments within the past few years have resulted in increased visibility of containers and the equipment used to handle the containers. The deficiencies in the containerization system within DOD are being addressed and efforts made to correct the deficiencies to ensure an efficient movement of cargo through the intermodal containerization system. In addition to the deficiencies, the deployments have resulted in the changing role of the intermodal container from a strategic container providing a mode of transport to the theater to a strategic as well as tactical container.
