The Containerized Ice Making System, or CIMS, was developed by the Product Manager -- Force Sustainment Systems, and can successfully generate and bag 3,600 pounds of potable ice per day and keep 1,200 pounds in cold storage for future use.  The CIMS' capacity to produce on-demand ice meets the field feeding, medical, and mortuary affairs needs of Soldiers fighting down range. Two third generation prototype CIMS units were brought in to support the XVIII Airborne Corps' 3rd Expeditionary Support Command during a training exercise held at Fort Brag in April 2018.
