Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The GAO has reviewed the National Defense Reserve Fleet's viability as a national sealift asset and evaluated several aspects of the Maritime Administration's management of the fleet. This report addresses the changing character of this fleet and its contribution in deploying and sustaining U.S. troops during the recent Persian Gulf crisis. Also addressed are the revenue implications of the domestic and foreign scrapping of Reserve Fleet ships and the administration's maintenance and management practices with respect to the fleet's older, less-ready portion. We present matters for congressional consideration and recommendations whose aim is to ensure that the Reserve Fleet continues to be a viable sealift asset.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ships from the Government owned Ready Reserve Force (RRF), Fast Sealift fleet and future Large Medium Speed RO/ROs, are the main source of quick response shipping to deploy military forces in a national emergency. Their crews are drawn from the civilian mariner pool that crew the U.S. Flag Fleet which has been steadily decreasing in size. The projected dwindling supply of active mariners creates uncertainty about the assured ability to crew the government ships in an emergency Several study conclusions were: continue program of having partial crews on ships categorized as in Reduced Operation Status, establish inter-union agreements to cross-level mariners when required, negotiate agreements that ensures all U.S. flag shipping will make their personnel on leave available to crew ships without prejudicing their current positions or seniority (Re-employment Rights), reduce RRF' crew sizes and establishment of a future crewing program to ensure availability of qualified crews. Program options analyzed were drawing personnel from: the Naval Reserve, Military Sealift Command Civilian Mariner pool, and Maritime Administration Civilian Merchant Marine Mobilization Program.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Ready Reserve Force (RRF) program, focusing on: (1) the readiness of RRF ships to respond to large-scale contingencies; (2) the program changes that were implemented to improve ship readiness and address problems encountered during the Persian Gulf War; (3) whether the readiness level of the highest-priority ships exceeds other strategic mobility components; and (4) the effect of further decreases in the number of available U.S. merchant mariners on RRF crew availability. GAO found that: (1) as a result of the problems it encountered during the Persian Gulf War, the Maritime Administration (MARAD) identified and corrected equipment deficiencies, instituted comprehensive specifications for the deactivation and preservation of RRF ships, strengthened ship manager controls, developed automated information systems for tracking maintenance repairs, and implemented new strategies for maintaining high-priority ships; (2) RRF ships will be able to meet their delivery schedules and sail within specified time frames as a result of maintenance and repairs performed during and after the Persian Gulf War; (3) MARAD ability to activate ships within 4 or 5 days exceeds the readiness level of other strategic mobility components; (4) the Army's ability to transfer unit equipment from key Army installations to seaports is constrained by deteriorated facilities; (5) although the Army plans to increase its capability to activate ships within 4 or 5 days, most projects will not be completed by 1999; (6) the Department of Defense has not justified maintaining 63 ships in a high state of readiness; (7) although the reduced number of available mariners should not immediately affect MARAD ability to crew RRF ships, its future ability to crew RRF ships is questionable; and (8) none of the proposed alternatives to resolve this situation have been adopted.

This book was released on 1988 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis is a discussion of the actions the Government has taken in response to the decline of the civilian merchant marine fleet. Early sealift capability, a vital component of the U.S. defense strategy has deteriorated. Progressively more expansive measures have been adapted in governmental efforts to build up a strong arsenal of assets capable of responding rapidly in the event of a contingency. This thesis looks at the components of the strategic sealift program, the National Defense Reserve Fleet, the Ready Reserve Force and, the newest measure, the ship Outporting Program. This program was implemented to alleviate congestion at the fleet anchorages, thereby reducing the ship activation and loadout times, ensuring rapid delivery of U.S. fighting force equipment overseas. This study culminates with the presentation of data that may be used to develop a model that will appraise the effectiveness of outporting a Ready Reserve Force ship. Keywords: Strategic sealift, Outporting, Ready reserve force, National defense reserve fleet, Military sealift command, Merchant marine, Theses. (SDW).

Book excerpt: The Persian Gulf Crisis has once again renewed debate concerning Strategic Sealift and management of the Nations Ready Reserve Force (RRF). Warfighting capabilities are directly tied to peacetime planning and management. As the peacetime manager of the RRF the Maritime Administration (Marad) has been held responsible for the poor condition of the Nations Strategic Sealift assets in general, and performance of the RRF during the Persian Gulf Crisis in particular. Although desired levels of readiness were not met during the surge phase of the operation, most other expectations of the RRF were met or exceeded during the buildup and sustainment phase. Furthermore, those identified areas of weakness were a direct of external constraints imposed upon Marad that prevented implementation of a sound management system. This paper presents a sound argument in defense of Marads performance as manager of the RRF which is reflected in the accomplishments of Sealift assets employed during the Crisis. However, a close review of the RRF vis-a-vis changing National Strategic and Military priorities supports moving managerial responsibilities to the DoD which is ultimately responsible for employment of these assets.

Book excerpt: This thesis studies the U.S. maritime labor force as it affects the manning of the Ready Reserve Force (RRF). The focus is on the reasons for periodic variations in the labor supply within the U.S. maritime industry. The amount of labor that will be needed to man a fully-activated RRF is compared with the amount of labor predicted to be available to the RRF and the commercial world. The RRF will require about 16 percent of the predicted available labor force. Shortages are bound to occur, especially in light of past history. Recommendations to minimize the amount of shortages include: instituting better union personnel management practices; assignment of personnel on a nationwide rather than local basis, and pooling of union resources to meet emergencies. It is also recommended that DOD develop its own backup source of officers to man RRF ships through an extended Merchant Marine Reserve program.
