Jesus de la Garza, Virginia Tech, asked whether equipment will eventually have to be shipped in pieces, owing to clearance and weight constraints. Matthews responded that this process is already in place, to a certain degree -- the Abrams tank has to be taken apart in order to be air-transported, and other newer tanks have to be disassembled just to be transported via rail.
