This book was released on 2012-11-02 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The transformation of the Army into a strategically responsive, expeditionary force that is dominant across the full spectrum of operations requires significant cultural, doctrinal and organizational change as well as advanced technological solutions. Such changes and technology must support the Army at every point on the spectrum of operations and must be suitable for the current as well as future forces. These changes and technologies must offer far-reaching capabilities that enable the Capstone Concept for Joint Operations (CCJO) and the Army's Future Force Capstone Concept. Simply improving existing platforms, doctrine, organizations and Army culture does not support the transformation envisioned in either of the aforementioned conceptual documents. Achieving this robust water transport capability requires new ways and means - enabled by truly transformational doctrine, organizations, training, materiel, leadership and education, personnel and facilities (DOTMLPF) and policy. The major shift in Army watercraft operation focuses on our ability to rapidly project and sustain operational forces within and through the littoral areas of the world. Expeditionary units and enabling technologies provide the commander the water transport capability to achieve positional advantage over operational and tactical distances. These water transport assets are not limited to operating in major or minor ports, but can also operate in austere port environments or over bare beaches. To maximize effectiveness, combat forces must be able to move autonomously, plan and rehearse while en route, and arrive in an immediately employable configuration. Transformation also emphasizes an improved link between operations and logistics, resulting in precise, reliable distributed support and sustainment to the warfighter. Future watercraft, and the units that employ them, must be fast, efficient, and agile; able to move with precision in a quickly changing environment. They must be capable of moving intact current and future force units forward of the strategic port; delivering platforms laden with retail supply; or delivering humanitarian and disaster relief materiel, all the while staying fully aware of the current and future operational situation. Army water transport forces provide the combatant commanders the maneuver capability to rapidly move forces, support and sustainment to the right place, at the right time, and in the right quantities. As the Army transforms, potential adversaries will adopt anti-access strategies. State or non-state forces will rely on anti-access measures to delay or counter the application of U.S. military capabilities. Future adversaries will marshal their limited assets and focus them on the most likely points of entry into the region. Traditionally, these are major air and seaports or major geographical choke points that must be navigated to achieve entry. Joint Force enabling concepts, units and technologies must provide the operational commander lift assets that bypass these known points, diminishing any asymmetrical advantage held by an adversary. They must allow the commander to pick the time and place of their choosing to initiate action and, thereby, to seize and hold the initiative in a tactical environment. Army watercraft and Army soldier-mariners must be fully trained, equipped and capable of operating in this dynamic joint environment.

This book was released on 2015-11 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Army Techniques Publication ATP 4-44 / MCRP 3-17.7Q Water Support Operations October 2015 is the United States Army and United States Marine Corps manual for planning and executing water support for missions conducted across the full range of military operations. In the U.S. Army, water support operations are a Quartermaster Corps function, as well as a component of Army Logistics. Army Logistics is an element of the sustainment warfighting function, which provides the operational commander freedom of action, extended operational reach, and operational endurance. Water support operations include water treatment, storage and distribution. Water treatment is a field service function, while water storage and distribution are supply functions. In the U.S. Marine Corps, water support operations are a general engineering function, as well as a component of tactical-level logistics. Logistics is a warfighting function in the Marine Corps. Water support operations are critical to the U.S. Army and U.S. Marine Corps; they directly impact the depth and duration of military operations. ATP 4-44/MCRP 3-17.7Q will combine, restructure, and update information previously published in three field manuals: FM 10-52, Water Supply in Theaters of Operations, dated 11 July 1990. FM 10-52-1, Water Supply Point Equipment and Operations, dated 18 June 1991. FM 10-115, Quartermaster Water Units, dated 15 February 1989. ATP 4-44/MCRP 3-17.7Q contains numerous revisions. The title has been changed to Water Support Operations to correctly incorporate terminology from FM 4-40, Quartermaster Operations and JP 4-03, Joint Bulk Petroleum and Water Doctrine. This publication incorporates current terminology from the Army's operational concept described in ADRP 3-0, Unified Land Operations. Additional current terminology is also included from FM 4-40, Quartermaster Operations, Technical Bulletin Medical 577, Sanitary Control And Surveillance of Field Water Supplies, JP 4-03, Joint Bulk Petroleum and Water Doctrine, STANAG 2136, Requirements for Water Potability during Field Operations and in Emergency Situations, and STANAG 2885, Emergency Supply of Water in Operations. Information that has been revised from previous publications includes force structure changes, new equipment fielding, and improved planning techniques. Information that has been added to this publication includes strategic partners, web-based planning tools, environmental stewardship, and location of joint welldigging capabilities. ATP 4-44/MCRP 3-17.7Q contains five chapters: Chapter 1 provides an overview of water support operations, to include water treatment, storage, distribution, and issue. In addition, this chapter will familiarize the reader with water organizations and staffs in the United States Army and United States Marine Corps. Chapter 2 discusses planning for water support operations. Water consumption requirements, water reconnaissance, and deployment preparation are explained in detail. Water planning tools are provided up front to assist staff members and water support personnel in planning operations. Environmental and health considerations are also discussed. Chapter 3 provides considerations for developing a water site to improve efficiency. This chapter will also include techniques for improving a water source to meet raw water requirements. Chapter 4 discusses water treatment operations, to include water quality, water treatment process, operator level planning, equipment, reports, and safety. In addition, this chapter will discuss extreme weather and environmental considerations. Chapter 5 discusses water storage, distribution, and issue operations. This chapter will include information on hypo-chlorination standards, as well as respective equipment and reports.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spearhead of Logistics is a narrative branch history of the U.S. Army's Transportation Corps, first published in 1994 for transportation personnel and reprinted in 2001 for the larger Army community. The Quartermaster Department coordinated transportation support for the Army until World War I revealed the need for a dedicated corps of specialists. The newly established Transportation Corps, however, lasted for only a few years. Its significant utility for coordinating military transportation became again transparent during World War II, and it was resurrected in mid-1942 to meet the unparalleled logistical demands of fighting in distant theaters. Finally becoming a permanent branch in 1950, the Transportation Corps continued to demonstrate its capability of rapidly supporting U.S. Army operations in global theaters over the next fifty years. With useful lessons of high-quality support that validate the necessity of adequate transportation in a viable national defense posture, it is an important resource for those now involved in military transportation and movement for ongoing expeditionary operations. This text should be useful to both officers and noncommissioned officers who can take examples from the past and apply the successful principles to future operations, thus ensuring a continuing legacy of Transportation excellence within Army operations. Additionally, military science students and military historians may be interested in this volume.
