Abstract This annotated bibliography, Volume III of the study entitled, Optimizing Wartime Materiel Delivery: An overview of DOD Containerization Efforts, documents studies related to containerization. Several objectives of the study were defined. These include: (1) Provide documentation of DOD containerization programs and identify issues around the use of containers in wartime. (2) Highlight unresolved issues. This study indicates those areas where the integration of containers has not been achieved or where the impacts of containerization have not been fully evaluated. (3) Develop a framework for action to address unresolved issues based upon analysis of the findings of (2), above. Citations in this bibliography are included based upon satisfaction of one or more criteria. Namely, the work must (1) document key past or current containerization effort(s), (2) address specific containerization issues, (3) provide general information on the DOD and/or civil sector distribution/ logistics systems which is pertinent to container distribution, and/or (5) define roles of DOD elements that have responsibilities in the area of containerization.
