Abstract:

Introduction. The Palletized Load System (PLS), a nondevelopmental i tern configured to meet the Army's required operational land transportation capabilities, is a highly mobile, dieselpowered, 16.5-ton truck with all-wheel drive capability. Its 16.5-ton capacity offered the Army an opportunity to improve the efficiency of ammunition distribution through reductions in personnel and equipment. Also, the PLS was designed to load or unload its cargo on demountable flatracks in less than 1 minute. The PLS, an integral part of the Army's Maneuver Oriented Ammunition Distribution System, will be assigned to Transportation, Ordnance, and Field Artillery units. As of September 30, 1990, the Army PLS program was estimated at $1.4 billion.
