We don't have enough transportation units in the Army anymore. The trans units we do have are working non stop hauling stuff, but it is not enough to supply everything needed. They have to contract civilians to haul a lot of the Army's stuff. Even during Desert Storm we used a lot of civilian trucking to support the Army. We have always been short on trans units. I am on Camp Anaconda right now and the idea of having locals drive big trucks onto post is out. I do not want to see a big rig packed with explosives set off on post anytime soon. I think that is probably why we use US citizens instead of locals.
