IMPLEMENTATION AND POLICY CHALLENGES FOR THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

Transportation is critical to reducing overhead costs in Department of Defense (DOD) logistics. In its reengineering effort DOD is expanding the role of privatization and increasing its activities in intermodalism. DOD has conducted several exercises that have proven the worth of intermodalism and intends to support it in policy as well as in practice. DOD considers industry a critical partner in its reengineering effort.
