MEMORANDUM THRU Director of Logistics<br />
FOR Garrison Commander<br />
SUBJECT: DOL Truck Fleet<br />
1. References.<br />
a. Point paper, Fort Riley Safety Office, ABCA-S, 8 Aug xx, subject: Vehicle Accident<br />
Trend Analysis.<br />
b. Telephone conversation between COL Highpower, 52d ID Chief of <strong>Staff</strong>, and COL<br />
Patton, Director, DOL, 10 Aug xx, subject: Vehicle Accident Trend Analysis.<br />
2. Purpose. To request assistance in determining the most cost-efficient method of reducing<br />
DOL’s increase in mechanical vehicle failures and accidents.<br />
3. Background. DOL’s existing fleet of 5-ton trucks is experiencing a significant rise in<br />
vehicle failures that have caused several accidents. Enclosure 1 is the Fort Riley Safety<br />
Office’s assessment of our safety record. DOL’s truck fleet (DeLorean 500) has been in<br />
service for an average of 28 years. During 3d quarter, FYxx, DOL’s fleet of 5-ton trucks<br />
accounted for 46 percent of Fort Riley’s total vehicle accidents and safety-related incidents.<br />
4. Summary. Due to the increase in vehicle accidents as a result of mechanical failure, we<br />
must determine the most cost-efficient method of correcting this problem. The two options<br />
that we are considering are mechanical repair of the existing fleet of DOL trucks or replacing<br />
DOL’s trucks with new trucks.<br />
5. Assistance Requested. Our initial analysis of the problem shows that we do not have the<br />
necessary expertise within the Transportation Division or DOL to conduct a complete<br />
analysis. To determine the most cost-efficient method of alleviating these problems, we<br />
request the following:<br />
a. Logistics systems analyst. Request a subject matter expert (SME) to examine our<br />
vehicles, to assess the ability of our maintenance system at Fort Riley to repair the vehicles,<br />
and to develop the options for repair or replacement of these trucks. DOL does not have the<br />
expertise in logistics systems analysis, nor does any other agency on Fort Riley. We estimate<br />
the analysis will take about a week. We recommend the Garrison Commander request a<br />
SME from the <strong>Army</strong> Materiel Command.<br />
b. Action officer. Request an action officer, preferably a graduate of <strong>CAS3</strong>, to assist us<br />
