This manual provides commanders, staff officers, and others concerned with general guidance pertaining to transportation container operations in the Army. The manual is intended as interim guidance to serve until operational experience provides a basis for its revision. In using this manual, bear in mind that the discussion of equipment includes a number of items that are not in the Army system but are being considered for development or for procurement from commercial sources. Such developmental action may cause changes in items of equipment that are discussed or pictured in this manual. Also, a number of new terms have been introduced as a result of containerization. These terms are defined in the glossary.
