Using technologies developed by the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center, Army vehicles are offloaded at a rail depot in Jessup, Maryland, June 9, 2025.
To support the U.S. Army’s 250th Birthday Parade in Washington D.C., ERDC researchers demonstrated the effectiveness of their Rapidly Available Interface for trans-Loading (RAIL) system, which significantly streamlined the logistics of the event by enabling the rapid and safe offloading of 62 heavy tracked vehicles
The modular RAIL system was designed to offload military vehicles at any point along a rail line, providing greater operational flexibility to quickly move combat power where and when it’s needed most. Two RAIL systems were used to simultaneously unload the various tracked and wheeled vehicles. Soldiers received onsite training from ERDC experts, proving how the organization’s innovation directly supports mission readiness and modern solutions.
