OIG High-Speed Intercity Passenger Rail Best Practice Ridership and Revenue Report
In the past, federal involvement in the development of intercity passenger rail has historically been quite limited. This has changed considerably in the past several years, beginning with the passage of important legislation such as the Passenger Rail Investment and Improvement Act (PRIIA) and the Rail Safety Improvement Act (RSIA) in 2008, and continuing with President Obama's announcement of a High-Speed Rail Vision in April 2009. Federal funding is now available for the development of high-speed and intercity passenger rail (HSIPR), including an initial $8 billion in grant funds made available under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), as well as other passenger rail development funds made available under the federal budget and PRIIA.

Lions Drag Strip
Discover how Lions Drag Strip became the face of quarter-mile competition!Hot rodders and the "drag" cars that they raced in unsanctioned exhibitions had become a nuisance with law enforcement in Los Angeles, California. So, in an effort to make racing safer, C. J. "Pappy" Hart (Santa Ana Drag Strip founder), Norris Poulson (Los Angeles mayor), John Chadwick (Wilmington Lions Club member), and others collaborated to create the world-famous, Lions Associated Drag Strip. With an approved proposal, shovels sunk into the sand in August of 1955 in Wilmington, California, christening the birth of the world's greatest drag strip.Mickey Thompson was hired to operate Lions Drag Strip (also known as "The Beach"), quickly turning it into Southern California's wildest venue to watch drag racing. Innovations, including staging lights, track lighting for night racing, and concession stands, made Lions Drag Strip the place to be. The world's greatest drag racers, such as Jack Chrisman, Tom McEwen, Art Chrisman, Don Prudhomme, Chris Karamesines, Connie Kalitta, and Don Garlits, as well as a cast of thousands descended upon Lions Drag Strip for exhibition and match racing. Fabled East versus West showdowns, Fuel Altereds, Funny Cars, and Jet cars broke attendance records and set national records throughout the 1960s. In addition, thrill-seeker Evel Knievel leaped over 13 cars at Lions Drag Strip to the excitement of 14,000 fans in December 1970. Sadly, Lions Drag Strip closed on December 3, 1972, due to being valued as industrial real estate and the approaching urban sprawl.Lions Automobilia Foundation Museum volunteer Lou Hart brings forth this year-by-year illustrated history of Lions Drag Strip's most memorable events with never-before-seen images in Lions Drag Strip: 1955-1972!

Can Trucks Sustain the Objective Force Army?
This monograph examines the Army's future operational level logistic support in an effort to determine whether or not the Army can successfully execute its Objective Force transformation without an aerial-based sustainment and distribution system. The Objective Force is the Army's futuristic medium-weight, motorized force that will have an operational reach of 1,000 kilometers in any direction. Sustaining this force will require maneuver sustainment organizations with equal or greater combat service support (CSS) reach. Although the Objective Force exists only as a concept, its design will be guided by seven design characteristics: responsiveness, deployability, agility, versatility, lethality, survivability and sustainability. The author evaluates how well a sustainment concept might support the Objective Force with an assessment of these characteristics. The future relevance of the Army was the impetus for change and transformation efforts. The Army is becoming more strategically responsive by reducing its size and support requirements while increasing its effectiveness. The Objective Force operational environment will not allow entry into the theater through ports of debarkation and will have extended and unsecured lines of communication. The Objective Force will conduct operational maneuver from strategic distances and arrive in the area of operations ready to fight. Operations will commence without in-theater sustainment bases. During continuous operations, Objective Force units will be able to self-sustain for three to seven days without external replenishment. This will create new challenges for the Army's sustainment community. Objective Force maneuver sustainers must provide rapid and assured support throughout the theater, without relying on logistics mass. The sustainment system will be based on a high velocity distribution pipeline. Objective Force sustainers will have unprecedented situational awareness and predictive knowledge of maneuver force logistThis work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
