Which statement describes the Modified Tailgate resupply method?

• A. Mixture of Service Station and Tailgate
• B. It is a form of air-resupply only
• C. It is only used during redundancy
• D. It avoids loading supplies on site

Answer: (A)

Modified Tailgate resupply combines the organization of a service station with the immediacy of a tailgate handout. In practice, you prepare and sort stock at a service-point setup (the service station) to ensure items are correctly issued and accounted for, then you move to the tailgate to issue those items quickly to units in the field. This hybrid approach captures the efficiency of rapid field distribution while maintaining the control and structure of a designated resupply point. That’s why describing it as a mixture of Service Station and Tailgate best fits. It isn’t limited to air resupply, it isn’t restricted to redundancy-only use, and supplies are still loaded on site at the service point or tailgate, so it doesn’t avoid loading on site.
