This book was released on 1991 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Until recently, the privately owned U.S. flag merchant fleet provided sufficient numbers of dry cargo ships to transport military unit equipment (u/e) . In the past decade, however, the number of dry cargo ships in this fleet decreased by approximately one-third, from more than 300 to about 200. Equally important, the direct military utility of this fleet decreased substantially because of the increased proportion of container ships. Today, the fleet includes about 94 pure container ships, which without special cargo modules cannot carry the vast majority of Army u/e. If these trends continue, DoD will no longer be able to simply requisition a large number of privately owned U.S flag ships and employ them without modification to deliver u/e. This Note, which is the result of research conducted between January 1988 and March 1990, addresses two questions: (1) To what extent can future U.S. flag merchant ships and existing government sealift programs support potential force deployment requirements? (2) If fast sealift ships (FSSs) and maritime prepositioning ships (MPSs) for Army equipment are needed, what kinds of ships should be built and in what operating regime should they be maintained?"--Abstract.

Book Synopsis Options for Strategic Military Transportation Systems by : David Alan Arthur
Download or read book Options for Strategic Military Transportation Systems written by David Alan Arthur and published by Congressional Budget Office. This book was released on 2005 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Congressional Budget Office study, prepared at the request of the Readiness Subcommittee of the House Committee on Armed Services, looks at the technical, operational, and cost issues associated with alternative transportation systems that DoD might develop and procure to reduce the time needed to deploy forces. The Department of Defense (DoD) is pursuing a variety of initiatives designed to reduce the time necessary to deploy combat forces around the world, including ongoing production of C-17 transport aircraft by the Air Force, development of concepts for the sea basing of military forces by the Navy and Marine Corps, and development of lighter, more easily transportable combat vehicles by the Army as part of its Future Combat Systems program. The study compares the advantages, disadvantages, and costs of six transportation alternatives: four that would use existing technologies and two that would develop more-advanced systems.
Book Synopsis Strategic Sealift by : Margaret Ann K. Ulrich
Download or read book Strategic Sealift written by Margaret Ann K. Ulrich and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strategic mobility is divided into three basic elements: airlift, sealift, and the prepositioning of supplies and equipment. The Military Sealift Command (MSC) is responsible for sealift and plays a major role in prepositioning ships and equipment. Through its programs, MSC provides flexibility and increased readiness to strategic mobility. This thesis discusses many interrelated sealift problems: labor and market vagaries, changing ship types and containerization, the changing nature of ports, deregulation and A-76 legislation, the decreasing U.S. merchant fleet, and the struggling shipbuilding industry. MSC's new tactics for strategic sealift, prepositioned ships and fast sealift support, better approach the intent of the national strategy to have surge capability and sustainability in fighting a war. Keywords: Theses; Strategic sealift; Prepositioning; Containerization; Deregulation; Changing ship type; Fast sealift support. (jhd).

Book Synopsis Strategic Sealift for Desert Shield by : Carl T. Bright
Download or read book Strategic Sealift for Desert Shield written by Carl T. Bright and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Although there have been several huge successes in the strategic sealift campaign in support of Desert Shield and Desert Storm, it is far from a blueprint for future contingencies. Shortfalls and lessons highlight strategic sealift as a continuing weak link in support of U.S. Navy Maritime Strategy. This research examined the Strategic Mobility Policy of the Department of Defense in the 1980's. It discusses the capabilities, limitations and effectiveness of the components of strategic sealift (Maritime/Afloat Prepositioning, Fast Sealift, Naval Defense Reserve Fleet and Ready Reserve Force) and their utility for future contingencies. There is small discussion on the impact of the decline of the Maritime industry on strategic sealift. In order to provide adequate sealift for future contingencies, The Strategic Mobility Policy for sealift should be modified to expand the Afloat Prepositioning Program to include Army equipment, reduce the National Defense Reserve Fleet and revitalize the Merchant Marine Industry."--Abstract

Download or read book Air-Mech-Strike written by BG (R) David L. Grange and published by Turner Publishing Company. This book was released on 2002-01-01 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book outlines how to reorganize the U.S. Army into a fully 2 and 3-Dimensional maneuver capable, ground force with terrain-agile, armored fighting vehicles sized to rapidly deploy by fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft to the scene of world conflicts and strike at the heart of freedom‚s enemies. The plan to build the Army into Air-Mech-Strike Forces, exploiting emerging information-age technologies, as well as America‚s supremacy in aircraft and helicopter delivery systems---at the lowest cost to the taxpayers, is described in detail. These Army warfighting organizations, using existing and some newly purchased equipment, will shape the battlefield to America‚s advantage, preserving the peace before it is lost; if not, then winning fights that must be fought quickly. The dangerous world we live in moves by the speed of the AIR, and the 21st Century U.S. Army 2D/3D combat team will dominate this medium by Air-Mech-Strike!

Book Synopsis Sea Basing by : National Research Council
Download or read book Sea Basing written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2005-08-14 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The availability of land bases from which to launch and maintain military, diplomatic, and humanitarian relief operations is becoming increasingly uncertain because of physical or political constraints. The ability to operate from a sea base, therefore, is likely to become more and more important. The Defense Science Board recently concluded that Sea Basing will be a critical future joint military capability and that DOD should proceed to develop such capability. Following the DSB report, the Navy requested that the National Research Council (NRC) convene a workshop to assess the science and technology base, both inside and outside the Navy, for developing Sea Basing and to identify R&D for supporting future concepts. This report of the workshop includes an examination of Sea Basing operational concepts; ship and aircraft technology available to make Sea Basing work; and issues involved in creating the sea base as a joint system of systems.

Download or read book Naval Expeditionary Logistics written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1999-02-09 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the request of the Chief of Naval Operations, the National Research Council (NRC) conducted a study to determine the technological requirements, operational changes, and combat service support structure necessary to land and support forces ashore under the newly evolving Navy and Marine Corps doctrine. The Committee on Naval Expeditionary Logistics, operating under the auspices of the NRC's Naval Studies Board, was appointed to (1) evaluate the packaging, sealift, and distribution network and identify critical nodes and operations that affect timely insertion of fuels, ammunition, water, medical supplies, food, vehicles, and maintenance parts and tool blocks; (2) determine specific changes required to relieve these critical nodes and support forces ashore, from assault through follow-on echelonment; and (3) present implementable changes to existing support systems, and suggest the development of innovative new systems and technologies to land and sustain dispersed units from the shoreline to 200 miles inland. In the course of its study, the committee soon learned that development of OMFTS is not yet at a stage to allow, directly, detailed answers to many of these questions. As a result, the committee addressed the questions in terms of the major logistics functions of force deployment, force sustainment, and force medical support, and the fundamental logistics issues related to each of these functions.
