Lt. General William Pagonis, Gulf War logistics chief discussing the logistics of bringing back equipment from Iraq:

"Getting it back poses a huge logistical challenge. Most helicopters and tanks are likely to be trucked out through Kuwait, though some containers may go through Jordan or Turkey. And before anything can be put on a ship home, it has to be scrubbed and inspected. That's because sand can harbor diseases that might harm poultry or livestock back in the U.S."

Why A Deployable Closed Loop Retrograde Wash Down and Inspection Rack (DRWIR)?

• Cleaning and sterilizing all of the vehicles coming back from Iraq and Afghanistan will be a monumental task.
• Giving the soldiers the right tools for the job is an advantage they need with today’s lean military.
• Recent history shows this process is a bottleneck in the logistics chain.
• Water and people are a scarce resource in SWA.
• Fast effective cleaning is essential.
