Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reviews the readiness of DoD prepositioning programs by which military stores, or prepositions, reserves of military equipment and supplies would be located near potential conflict areas. During a crisis, prepositioning would speed U.S. response times because only the troops and a relatively small amount of materiel would need to be brought to the conflict area. This report examines (1) the basis for the program requirements and (2) the rates of inventory fill and maintenance condition of prepositioned stocks and the reliability of this readiness data. Focuses on the Army and the AF programs because of concerns about the condition and mgmt. of their stocks.

This book was released on 1998 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. military stores, or prepositions, reserves of military equipment and supplies near potential conflict areas to ensure that the material would be quickly available to forces in the event of a crisis. During a crisis, prepositioning would speed U.S. response times because only the troops and a relatively small amount of materiel would need to be brought by air to the conflict area. As a result, the Department of Defense (DOD) could field heavily equipped, combat-ready forces in days rather than the weeks it would take if the forces and all necessary equipment and supplies had to be brought from the United States. Collectively, the services spent over $1 billion in fiscal year 1997 to operate and maintain their prepositioning programs. The Chairman, Subcommittee on Readiness, Committee on Armed Services, U.S. Senate, asked GAO to assess the readiness of prepositioning programs. Specifically, GAO examined (1) the basis for program requirements and (2) the rates of inventory fill and maintenance condition of prepositioned stocks and the reliability of this readiness data. GAO focused its review on the Army and the Air Force programs because of concerns that emerged about the sufficiency, condition, and management of their prepositioned stocks. Information on the Marine Corps and the Navy programs is in appendix I.

Book excerpt: The DoD prepositions equipment to help ensure combat-ready forces receive equipment in days rather than the weeks it would take if it had to be moved from the U.S. to their location. Prepositioned stocks may also support activities incl. disaster relief and humanitarian assistance. This report assessed the extent to which DoD has: (1) met the six reporting requirements in the annual report to Congress on its prepositioned stocks, and whether additional information may be needed; (2) developed effective departmentwide guidance on prepositioned stocks to achieve national military objectives; and (3) organized effectively to provide joint oversight over its prepositioning programs and achieve efficiencies.

This book was released on 1996 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph explains why the maritime prepositioning programs (MPPs) are required to support forward presence, deterrence, and force projection missions of the Joint Force Commander (JFC). It describes the Marine Corps Maritime Prepositioning Force (MPF) and Army's Prepositioning Afloat (APA) Programs as national strategic assets available to combatant commanders to prosecute military operations and military operations other than war (MOOTW). The MPPs have proven their strategic and operational importance in Operations Desert Shield/Storm, Restore Hope, and Vigilant Warrior. Since the service component experienced delays in MPP reconstitution efforts after Operations Desert Storm and Restore Hope, the JFC should be responsible for MPP reconstitution operations. His involvement in the reconstitution effort is important to ensure these strategic assets are rapidly regenerated and available to prosecute a second major regional contingency, if required.

Download or read book Maritime Prepositioning written by Carl D. Matter and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States Marine Corps Maritime Prepositioning Force and Norway Air-Landed Marine Expeditionary Brigade programs are time-tested and operationally indispensable capabilities demanded by the current National Security Strategy. In times of crisis, these two unique and independent programs provide the Marine Corps, and moreover, the United States with a transformational force multiplying capability essential for global reach, rapid crisis response, power projection, and forward presence. The latest Quadrennial Defense Report directs military transformation focused on an unpredictable and asymmetric threat to national security. The author says that the Marine Corps responded to this strategic direction with transformational vision and resultant service strategy capitalizing on the unique capabilities of the Navy/Marine Corps team. The author sees maritime prepositioning as an important ingredient to successfully implementing those visions. The author also provides an overview of Blount Island Command, a critical element of the Marine Corps' geo-prepositioning programs. In this overview, the author elaborates on Blount Island Command's role in supporting the prepositioning programs of today, and more importantly, the transformational future. The author concludes that Blount Island Command is a force multiplier for the Maritime Prepositioning Force as well as a critical element of the Marine Corps' transformational future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Navy and Marine Corps Sea Basing concepts envision the development of capabilities that will allow the rapid deployment, assembly, command, projection, reconstitution, and re-employment of expeditionary forces from the sea. The RAND Corporation assessed alternative structures for the proposed Maritime Prepositioning Force (Future), or MPF(F), squadron and how these changes would affect abilities to support a Marine Expeditionary Brigade (MEB) in operations ranging from counterinsurgency to special operations to major combat operations. This assessment of the capabilities of alternative structures for the MPF(F) considers the need for both logistics support and casualty evacuation and care in assessing MPF(F) capabilities. Most of the variations considered entail removing large-deck ships from the squadron. RAND researchers also explored the possibility of an MPF(F) construct where only surface connectors, and no aircraft, could be used for supporting a MEB. The researchers found that degradation to logistics throughput resulting from eliminating large-deck ships from the MPF(F) could be offset by substituting CH-53K helicopters for MV-22s, with air connectors from other ships also helping provide adequate throughput capacity. Although eliminating all large-deck ships would also eliminate major medical capabilities, the squadron would otherwise retain the ability to provide logistics support for a full range of major combat, counterinsurgency, and special operations.
