Preparing to Leave Decide on Carrier On the basis of information furnished as to deadline date and other pertinent data, the shipping branch must decide by what carrier the shipment should be sent. In selecting either air, express, rail or motor truck, the traffic section is charged with the responsibility of getting the material to its des tination at the least cost to the government and on time. A good many emergency ship ments requiring the fastest means of transportation are handled every day and military air transport is utilized to the fullest extent in these cases. Re cently an emergency request was made from the West Pacific for material that was in stock at this depot. From the time the requisition left the island thousands of miles away until the material had been packed, shipped and received at its destination, only five days had elapsed, according to Capt. Larson. Fortunately, for the tax payer's pocket book, the greatest bulk of shipments can be handled within normal channels of transportation and full use is made of truck and rail facilities. Within this area, shipments from Hill Field and nearby military installations are in many cases combined at central distributing points in order to make shipments in full carloads. The savings to the government through this type of operation over a period of a year is tremendous.
