Work will be performed in Oshkosh, WI and is expected to be complete by Oct. 31, 2007.

Oshkosh’s HET trucks are flatbeds that usually transport tanks, and DID has covered the importance of the Palletized Loading System items before in changing battlefield logistics. The PLS has several variants, and the Fuel Tank Assemblies can be part of a PLS modular fuel farm system.
