I needed 4 or 5 good cases. I bought a pallet with 12 cases (the smallest lot the local military base had). This was years ago and it cost me $300 or so. The really good sturdy plastic cases (Hardee brand or something, like Pelican).
I ended up selling the ones I didn’t need for $50 each.
I saw those used a lot. They have the little air pressure release button them? Every day, every commander sends a report up the chain of command on readiness levels, deployability, how many trucks, ships, planes, etc are at 100%.
Aircraft get a lot of attention in particular. If an aircraft is broken, or “Red X’d”, there are various acceptable answers as to why it is unflyable, and when it is estimated to be back to flying status. As I recall it was something called “AOG” for “Aircraft On Ground” - due to parts unavailability - that got their attention at the puzzle palace. Some hydraulic pump or something. Nobody has one. Then, somebody somewhere would find one, deep at a Army Depot.
We’d get a 75 pound shipping container FEDEX overnight from Tobyhanna to Hawaii, stuff like that. Wonder what that cost? LOL
