A 2009 Air Mobility Command and Defense Logistics Agency Supply Chain Management initiative seeks to increase cargo velocity to the Iraq Theatre of operations by synchronizing the picking, packing, and shipping of cargo from Defense Distribution Centers with the flow of scheduled airlift through aerial ports of embarkation (APOE) on the east coast of the United States. If this initiative is successful, not only will the port hold time be reduced at the APOEs, but the potential exists for larger groups of pallets to be aggregated at APOEs for onward movement. This research investigated the relationship between pallet group size and pallet velocity for cargo movement from Susquehanna, PA to various locations in Iraq. No evidence of a significant relationship between pallet group size and pallet velocity was identified. Port hold time at Incirlik Air Base, Turkey demonstrated the greatest influence on pallet velocity. Improvements to information sharing and collaborative planning were recommended to improve the initiative.
