Mission: Provide a mobile, modern, efficient kitchen serving up to 800 meals up to 3x daily

Description: • 3:1 ISO 8x8x20 container with seven Modern Burner Units, two commercial refrigerators, an environmental control unit, a 10KW generator and other required field feeding equipment• Towed by 5T FMTV; PLS / LHS Compatible

• Cost is approximately $129,000Value:• Reduces logistics infrastructure by 1 cook, 1 vehicle, and 1 kitchen when replacing 2 MKTs

• Supports Single Battlefield Fuel (JP8)• Significantly improves working environment

CONTAINERIZED KITCHEN

151M007-11


Mission: Distributes and stores mixed rations: fresh, chilled, frozen (perishable/semi-perishable)

Description: • LHS capable 8X8X20 refrigerated container with a single movable partition, which allows compartment volume to be adjusted according to type subsistence

Value:

• Compartment volume adjusted to load type• Reduced logistics footprint, performs mission of a standard refrigerated container and a flatbed trailer• Can hold 2 days of rations for up to 800 personnel

Basis of Issue:

• 21 per perishable subsistence platoon

• 1 per CK in BCT

MULTI-TEMPERATURE, REFRIGERATED CONTAINER SYSTEM (MTRCS)

151M007-12


CONTAINERIZED ROLL-IN/ROLL-OUT PLATFORM (CROP) M3/M3A1

Mission: Enhance through-put by providing capability to transport configured loads from distributor across battle space to forward units

Description: • Interfaces with the PLS and HEMTT LHS systems

• 16.5 ST payload (PLS)

• 11 ST payload (LHS)

• Fits inside 20’ ISO container• Folding A-frame allows for stacking 2-6 high for retrograding

Value:• Reduces MHE and personnel required to download containers from distributors• Reduces need to build loads in theater, thus shortening time cargo spends at port/airfield• Increases velocity in the distribution pipeline – ‘factory to foxhole’ faster

RO: Replenishment Ops are deliberate, time sensitive logistics operations conducted by the BSB to replenish the FSCs (May be augmented with EAB assets), and quick, in-stride replenishment operations conducted by the FSC.

MSO: Mission Staging Operations are initiated by Div order, conducted by the BCT and enabled by the SUST BDE at a forward location within the BCT AO. MSO tasks are METT-TC; may include planning, rehearsals and limited reorganization ICW sustainment tasks. The Sust Bde will provide replenishment to the BSB / FSC’s along with field services / other services as required.

DISTRIBUTION CONCEPT OF SUPPORT

DISTRIBUTION ENABLERS

• Palletized Load System (PLS)

• Container Handling Unit (CHU)

• Load Handling System (LHS)

• LHS Compatible Water Tankrack System (HIPPO)

151M007-17


Mission: Utilizing self-loading and unloading capabilities, the Palletized Load System (PLS) provides rapid movement of combat configured loads of all classes of supply, shelters, and containers

Description: • Prime mover (HEMTT) with integral self-loading and unloading transport capability, 16.5-ton payload trailer, and demountable flatracks • Two configurations: M1074 is equipped with a variable reach Material Handling Crane (MHC) to support FA units; M1075 lacks an MHC, is used in conjunction with the M1076 trailer to conduct line haul

Value: • Capable of transporting multiple configurations of cargo utilizing a variety of flatracks

• Limits the requirement for MHE

PALLETIZED LOAD SYSTEM (PLS)

151M007-18


CONTAINER HANDLING UNIT (CHU)

Mission: Enables a PLS to upload, transport, and download 20 foot containers without aid of a flatrack

Description:

• Installed as a kit on PLS• Does not require use of an external flatrack

Value: • Reduces logistics footprint, performs mission of flatbed trailer and rough terrain container handler (RTCH)

• Limits the requirement for MHE

151M007-19


LOAD HANDLING SYSTEM (LHS)

Mission: Provides rapid transport of equipment and supply loads without the aid of MHE

Description: • Consists of a HEMTT prime mover equipped with an integral load-handling system

• Carries equipment/supply loads on demountable cargo beds

• Capable of towing an 11-ton payload trailer able to carry flatracks

Value: • Reduces logisitcs footprint, performs mission of flatbed trailer and MHE• Enables units to load supplies in cargo bed prior to on-site arrival of prime mover – ‘factory to foxhole’ faster
