      <title>MTMC Terminal Operations: Restructuring for the Future</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/863647</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The current Military Traffic Management Command terminal organizations and structure were developed during the Cold War and have changed little since that time. The time is right to restructure the terminal operations capability to achieve the deployment requirements of the Mobility Requirements Study 05 and the Army Transformation Objective Force in an efficient and effective manner. The efficiency and effectiveness of terminal operations is tied to the units' design, capability, and employment concept. These factors have second order effects as to the corresponding size, agility, and composition of the structure. The Active Component (AC) and Reserve Component (RC) terminal operations units can be streamlined and integrated to align the resources more closely to the tasks. The development of standardized, multicomponent AC/RC terminal units will improve effectiveness and enhanced agility will allow for reductions in the current terminal structure while meeting near term and future deployment timeline objectives.]]></description>

      <title>MILITARY TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT COMMAND SUPPORTS DOD</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/675648</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Worldwide, U.S. military units perform missions while overcoming numerous challenges.  The Military Traffic Management Command (MTMC) gets U.S. soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines the equipment they need to accomplish their vital missions.  The command moves more than one million measurement tons of cargo a month for contingency, training and humanitarian purposes.  The critical cargoes MTMC transporters move worldwide set the time and place for mission successes.  This article discusses MTMC operations in Kosovo, MTMC worldwide missions, MTMC quality-of-life initiatives, MTMC support for the Defense Travel System, MTMC third-party logistics, Management Reform Memorandum 15, PowerTrack service (an online payment and transaction tracking system), and the reshaping of MTMC to more closely resemble private enterprise transportation organizations.]]></description>

      <title>FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEMS FOR RAIL TRANSPORTATION OF CLASS A EXPLOSIVES: INTERIM REPORT</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/162848</link>
      <description><![CDATA[As a result of several accidents involving fire induced detonation of military explosives during rail shipment, a research project, funded by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), was initiated at the Center for Fire Research (CFR) at the National Bureau of Standards (NBS). This project was initiated to evaluate various methods of protection of Class A explosives from fire, and to identify one or more cost-effective approaches which could be explored in greater detail in later studies. Active systems (detection, notification, and extinguishment) and passive systems (thermal insulating barriers) were evaluated regarding cost, feasibility and level of protection provided for the major hazard scenarios involved in rail shipment of explosives. The passive, thermal barrier approach was selected as the most reliable and less costly of the options studied while providing an acceptable level of protection. Small-scale and full-scale tests were conducted to obtain performance data on one specific thermal barrier material. Based on this data, a computer model was developed which can predict temperatures of the boxcar floor, top surface temperature of a thermal barrier, and casing/explosive interface temperature of a wood-pallet mounted bomb for a range of fire sizes. The model predictions compare favorably with measured results from a limited number of experiments. Further experimental data are needed to refine the model and establish an acceptable confidence level in the predicted values. The proposed work necessary to provide this refinement and verification is described.]]></description>

      <title>FIRE HAZARDS FROM COMBUSTIBLE AMMUNITION, METHODOLOGY DEVELOPMENT. PHASE I</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/168893</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The initial phase of a program related to hazard classification of combustible munitions has been completed. This program has two overall objectives. The first objective was to develop quantity-distance standards and criteria for combustible compositions assigned to classes 1.3 and 1.4. The second objective of the overall program is to develop standard test procedures to classify the materials with respect to the hazards that they present to exposed materials, structures, and persons during storage and transport. Based on this program, much was learned that can be applied to the development of a standardized classification test for characterizing the fire hazards of combustible munitions. The burning behavior of the materials is better understood, therefore more realistic quantity-distance standards can be developed.]]></description>

      <title>THE HISTORY OF THE QUANTITY DISTANCE TABLES FOR EXPLOSIVE SAFETY</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/143788</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The history of the quantity-distance tables for explosive safety is traced from its inception to the present. Comparisons are made to alternative approaches used by NATO and other countries. There exist only minor differences in safety distances at this time. U.S. distances are more conservative for quantities less than 1000 lbs and less conservative for larger quantities. Projections are also made as to the effect of packaging changes, and containerization of ammunition shipments on future explosive safety standards. (Author)]]></description>

      <title>HAZARD CLASSIFICATION OF EXPLOSIVES FOR TRANSPORTATION-NONSOLID EXPLOSIVES (PHASE III)</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/143679</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Explosive sensitivities, major field tests, and some accidents in transportation were compiled for selected monopropellants, slurry explosives, and blasting agents. To supplement information in the literature, the projectile impact, card gap, and General Electric input-output sensitivities of certain slurry explosives and blasting agents were measured. It was concluded that the projectile impact of the card gap and the cap test results all depend on the method of conducting of the test to such an extent that the explosive classification in some cases can be changed from UN 1.1 to 1.3. A scheme for explosive hazard classification based on the new United Nations systems is discussed.]]></description>
