And assessment of containerization as an integral component of DOD's dimensional standardization policy. The analysis offers containerization as one solution to the strategic mobility requirements created by the increased logistic burden of new weapons systems, the depletion of naval amphibious shipping assets, and the changing posture of the commercial shipping industry. It offers a system definition, concept of operations, and problem assessment for the AFOE of a notional MAF. The geographical focus is inside the AOA with concentration on ship-to-shore, marshalling, and forward displacement operations. Conclusions and recommendations are provided as input for future strategic planning and systems acquisition. (Author)
