This paper addresses the following questions as they relate to the role of intermodalism in future military mobilizations: How do we respond to future contingencies? How large a force must be mobilized? How do we get the divisions to the ports? Concerning the sealift, what types of vessels are required and how many are needed? What are the features of the ideal intermodal marine terminal? How can the intermodalism industry help? As the military transporters look to the future, they try to imagine what changes that future will bring. The commercial sealift industry is changing. The terminals of today are significantly different from those of yesterday and tomorrow's terminals will change even more. The military must work with industry to ensure these changes will offer solutions to the military deployment problem, not greater challenges.
