Heavy-Lift Breakbulk Ship Pretest Results of the Joint Logistics-Over-The-Shore (LOTS) Test and Evaluation Program

摘要

This pretest verified the Services' capabilities for using a heavy-lift breakbulk ship to deploy certain LOTS heavy and outsized equipment. The only item not considered feasible, because of its weight and size, is the DeLong B barge. The pretest also provided the first opportunity in over 4 years to conduct a container throughput exercise. This opportunity provided the experience required by military personnel which will be amplified during the main test.
