Transportation Motor Transport Battalion
The transportation motor transport battalion is designed to support the movement of personnel and matériel for divisions and corps in an area of operation. It is normally attached to a sustainment brigade and consists of a headquarters and headquarters detachment providing command and control of between three and seven motor transport companies, detachments or teams. [1]
Movement Control Battalion
The movement control battalion is charged with regulating all movement within its area of operation, including along the main supply route (MSR) and alternate supply routes (ASR). Subordinate to the Theater Sustainment Command and/or Expeditionary Sustainment Command, it is a vital component in the planning and execution of deployment, redeployment and distribution operations. The battalion exercises control of between four and ten movement control teams, which are assigned to key areas or transportation nodes. [2]
Motor transport companies provide for the transport of personnel and a variety of commodities, including petroleum products, bulk cargo, and containers. They normally operate as part of a transportation battalion, a Combat Sustainment Support Battalion (CSSB) or Division Sustainment Support Battalion (DSSB). There are four basic types of motor companies: [8]
The light-medium truck company provides for transportation of bulk cargo, containers and personnel using the Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV). It may operate as part of a motor transport battalion, a CSSB or a DSSB. It consists of a headquarters platoon, a light-medium truck platoon, a medium truck platoon, and a maintenance section. Vehicle complement comprises 50 medium tactical vehicle cargo trucks, including the M1078 and M1083 variants, along with 25 trailers of the same payload capacity; and 10 M1088 medium tactical vehicle tractor trucks with 20 M871 trailers. Its total one-time lift capability is 225 short tons of breakbulk cargo; 404 short tons of breakbulk ammunition; 440 pallets; 10 TEU; or 600 personnel with gear. [9]

The corporation also owns Pierce Manufacturing, a fire apparatus manufacturer in Appleton, Wisconsin, and JLG Industries, a manufacturer of lift equipment, including aerial lifts, boom lifts, scissor lifts, telehandlers and low-level access lifts.
The Medium Tactical Vehicle Replacement (MTVR) is a series of vehicles used by the U.S. Marines. The first MTVRs were delivered in late 1999. The MTVR is the equivalent of the U.S. Army's Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV); the Marines do not use the FMTV and the Army does not use the MTVR.
The Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV) are a series of military vehicles based upon a common chassis, varying by payload and mission requirements. The FMTV is derived from the Austrian Steyr 12M18 truck, but substantially modified to meet United States Army requirements. These include a minimum 50 percent U.S. content.
The Palletized Load System (PLS) is a truck-based logistics system that entered service in the United States Army in 1993. It performs long and short distance freight transport, unit resupply, and other missions in the tactical environment to support modernized and highly mobile combat units. It provides rapid movement of combat configured loads of ammunition and all classes of supply, shelters and intermodal containers. It is similar to systems such as the British Demountable Rack Offload and Pickup System (DROPS).
The M939 is a 5-ton 6×6 U.S. military heavy truck. The basic cargo versions were designed to transport a 10,000 pounds (4,500 kg) cargo load over all terrain in all weather. Designed in the late 1970s to replace the M39 and M809 series of trucks, it has been in service ever since. The M939 evolved into its own family of cargo trucks, dump trucks, semi-tractors, vans, wreckers, and bare chassis/cabs for specialty bodies. 44,590 in all were produced.
The M35 2½-ton cargo truck is a long-lived 2½-ton 6×6 cargo truck initially used by the United States Army and subsequently utilized by many nations around the world. Over time it evolved into a family of specialized vehicles. It inherited the nickname "Deuce and a Half" from an older 2½-ton truck, the World War II GMC CCKW.
The 68th Division Sustainment Support Battalion is a U.S. Army support battalion stationed at Fort Carson, Colorado. The battalion motto is "Stagecoach, LET'S GO". The 68th Division Sustainment Support Battalion's current call sign is "Stagecoach". The 68th DSSB has deployed overseas to India, Burma, Somalia, Cuba, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Afghanistan.
The M1120 HEMTT LHS is a M977 Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck with a load handling system in place of a flat bed/cargo body. The HEMTT is an eight-wheel drive, diesel-powered, tactical truck used by the US military and others.

Motor transport (MT) refers to the operation and maintenance of a military vehicle fleet, and sometimes to the servicemembers to operate and maintain them. Traditionally, motor transport organizations are responsible for a unit's military trucks and associated equipment, as well as the transport of personnel and material from one place to another.
90th Sustainment Brigade is a United States Army Reserve Sustainment Brigade which is split between the states of Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas.
The M809 Series 5-ton 6x6 truck (G908) was a family of heavy tactical trucks built for the United States Armed Forces. The basic cargo version was designed to transport a 5-ton (4,500 kg), 14 ft (4.3 m) long load over all terrain in all weather. In on-road service the load weight was doubled. Built by AM General, they evolved into the M939 Series.
The Logistic Vehicle System Replacement (LVSR) is a family of heavy-duty military logistics vehicles of the United States Marine Corps (USMC) based on a common 5-axle ten-wheel drive (10x10) chassis. The vehicles vary in individual configuration by mission requirements, with three variants in service: a cargo, a wrecker and a tractor truck. The LVSR was designed and is manufactured by Oshkosh Defense.
211th Regional Support Group is a United States Army Reserve unit which controls Combat Sustainment Support Battalion units within Texas.
