Transport assessment and cost analysis of the shipment of M55 rockets to possible disposal sites. M55 rocket disposal program study: M55-CD-1
The US Army is currently studying ways to dispose of M55 rockets. This report identifies the methods that are available to transport the rockets to disposal sites from three storage Depots (the Anniston Army Depot, the Kentucky-Blue Grass Depot, and the Umatilla depot) and the costs associated with handling, inspection, dispatching, and transporting them. The shipping destinations considered were Tooele, Utah, Pin Bluff, Arkansas, and Johnston Island. Shipment of the rockets by air was the most complex of the modes examined. Military airports, located both at and away from the storage depots, were evaluated. Truck convoy is a second alternative that was considered in the transfer of rockets to Tooele, Utah, or Pine Bluff, Arkansas. Rail is the third mode examined.
