Our mobilization solutions for the Afghan retrograde was completed in less than eight days. We mobilized material handling equipment, including cranes, loaders, and container stackers to support key retrograde logistics operations and also provided transportation assets. This mobilization effort involved heavy equipment and personnel who managed the retrograde and customs requirements through the Middle East.
Our experience in previous operations and a staff with deep knowledge in field-tested solutions helped infuse vitality to the successful Afghan operation. The incomparable challenges of a retrograde operation of this size and complexity necessitated seamless collaboration.
Retrograde is military parlance for disassembling and repatriating useable equipment before they rotate home. The retrograde operation out of Afghanistan was unlike any the U.S. Army and the nation had faced before, including challenges in moving equipment under harsh conditions. Our mobilization for this effort took less than eight days. We mobilized material handling equipment, including cranes, loaders, and container stackers to support key retrograde logistics operations in Kabul and Kandahar, with movements to the Karachi and Jebel Ali Ports.
