Although this system is relatively strong, researchers explored ways to improve it by adding new units and posts to the truck network and taking other steps to reduce "leakage" from the truck network.

<p>This study examined whether there is a less costly medical distribution structure for U.S. Central Command that would maintain or improve performance.
