INTRODUCTIONA. PURPOSE AND SCOPEThis report provides a broad range of transportation planningdata and guidance for mobilizing, deploying, and sustaining USForces publication contains the following information:1.

8 General discussions of mobility planning Discussions and specific planning guidance for five trans-portation modes (highway, rail, inland waterways, sea, and air).3. Unit movement Containerization discussion and Supplemental transportation information in this report is not directive in nature. Itshould be used only for planning purposes. While more accuratedata may exist for each specific application, exercise, or missionbeing planned, this report can be used in the absence of suchdata. Also, more definitive data associated with detailed trans-portation analyses and the shipment of hazardous cargoes arebeyond the scope of this TRANSPORT SECTIONS FORMATThe format of this report has been arranged to provide conti-nuity between the five transport sections (highway, rail, inlandwaterway, sea, and air).

9 Each of these sections contains a dis-cussion of general and background information; an inventory oftransport assets; a discussion of transit data, loading criteriaand restrictions; and a discussion of unit movement requirementsfor six Army-type divisions and an armored cavalry regiment (table1). Some minor deviation may occur from this format per transportmode because of the specific characteristics of that mode. How-ever, for the most part, these sections are uniform in DATA SOURCESThe data in this report are derived from several sources. Onemajor source is analyses of actual unit moves. Included areunit moves associated with Operation Desert Storm. Other sourcesof data include historical movement experiences, Joint Chiefs ofStaff (JCS)-sponsored exercises, and Military Traffic ManagementCommand Transportation Engineering Agency (MTMCTEA) transportationand transportability REFERENCESS ource references are provided for the data contained in thisreport.
