When the military operations are conducted in areas where port facilities for containerships are not available for either military or geographic reasons, then the supplies and equipment must be brought ashore in Logistics Over-the-Shore (LOTS) operations. The Joint Logistics Over-the-Shore (JLOTS) II joint test and evaluation project is intended to assess the Services' current capability to conduct Assault Follow-On Echelon (AFOE) and LOTS operations. This is the latest in a series of joint tests begun in 1970 to aid in the development of a container handling capability in AFOE/LOTS operations. JLOTS II is separated into three test phases. Phase I, the Deployment Test, is to assess the capabilities to deploy the logistics delivery equipment in merchant ships to an operating area. Phase II, the Roll-On/Roll-Off (RO/RO) Test, is to assess the capability to assemble, install, and operate an offshore RO/RO Discharge Facility and to deliver vehicular cargo ashore from merchant RO/RO vessels. Phase II, the Throughput Test, is to assess the Services' capability to install and use their delivery systems for container, breakbulk, and bulk liquid cargo and to define the operating performance of the combined systems in a joint test. This report covers the Phase I, Deployment Test.
