Description: The objective of this thesis is to identify the Department of Defense (DOD) transportation mode alternatives      used to ship fresh fruits and vegetables (FFV) to Guam, to discuss which alternatives provide the highest      service level in terms of prolonging FFV shelf life under what circumstances, and to identify those additional      considerations that affect shelf life during transportation. The entire transportation process from the Continental      United States (CONUS) through final delivery to the customer will be documented and analyzed, and      recommendations for its improvement included.
