How do the GIs do it when they get  sent to another post across the world ?

Their employer owns very large aircraft and can transport their goods for them :)

The guys I have talked to who shifted from base to base said they would have cars they would buy for a token amount then sell when they got deployed elsewhere.  Sort of like a long term rental that you are responsible for.

This is done also.  My Uncle had a VW? in Iceland.  Left the VW there, brought home the new wife.

Have you considered the inverse...

 

I don't see any lateral support in that. One good bump or even swinging it on or off a ship will have that car resting on what ever is under it.  

I suppose the walls of the container would brace it in 3 directions, there's one left though....

When I sent my VW camper to Europe it had mold / moss growing in it when I picked it up, 

It was shipped from California so went thru the Panama Canal  and the tropical heat and moisture , 

I am sure there is something at Home Depot you can buy that soaks up the moisture.....

We're looking at it wrong - you just need a watercraft to get you 55 miles across.  Then you drive the rest.
