Book excerpt: Since the 1980s, strategic sealift has been formally designated as a U.S. Navy mission. With over ninety percent of all military equipment and supplies required to support U.S. military forces in combat being delivered by sea, and as globalized interests and risks continue to spread, this mission is vital to the country’s economic and national security. Despite its necessity, sealift is rarely discussed as anything other than an operations adjunct and must be carried out in an environment of unprecedented fiscal constraints. Global Reach provides a unique examination into the development and implementation of more than a century of U.S. national defense sealift policy. Presenting a comprehensive history on the evolution of sealift from the Spanish American War (1898) to Operation Enduring Freedom/Iraqi Freedom (2002–12), Herberger, Gaulden, and Marshall reflect on what has and has not worked in that time from both a legal and operational perspective. As international demands grow and change, so too must the sealift policies that are directly tied to how the nation will address them. With its thorough history and cogent analysis, Global Reach provides the context necessary to understand this complex, important topic, but also lays out a roadmap for how the U.S. can continue to meet and respond to the increasing challenges of the years to come.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strategic sealift is essential to the Department of Defense for it to carry out its national security mission. Surge sealift is provided primarily by DoD's organic fleet. Sustainment sealift is accomplished through chartering commercial ships. U.S. maritime policy places the primary requirement for sustainment sealift on the U.S. maritime industry. Policies dating to the 1920s attempt to ensure an adequate number of ships by providing operating subsidies and cargo preference. Despite these policies, the size of the U.S. commercial fleet has decline& DoD uses foreign flag ships to meet its needs when U.S.- flagged vessels are not available. Foreign flag ship use is significant and presents risk to the conduct of military operations. The world maritime industry has undergone significant change. The rise of flags of convenience and open registries has altered the industry. This thesis reviews U.S. maritime policy, DoD's requirement for sealift and options for obtaining sealift. It identifies and explores the nature of the risk related to strategic sealift facing the DoD as it enters the 21st century and suggests that the risk associated with the use of foreign flag vessels is low.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the National Defense Reserve Fleet's (NDRF) viability and the Maritime Administration's (MARAD) management of the fleet, focusing on: (1) the Reserve Fleet's changing character; (2) its contribution in deploying and sustaining U.S. troops during the Persian Gulf crisis; (3) the revenue implications of the domestic and foreign scrapping of Reserve Fleet ships; and (4) MARAD maintenance and management of the fleet's older, less ready vessels. GAO found: (1) during the 1980s, the Department of Defense spent over $7 billion to improve, increase, and expand government-owned or -controlled sealift assets; (2) during deployment to the Persian Gulf, Non-Ready Reserve Force (non-RRF) ships were not used to assist in the transportation of the 10 million tons of cargo because there would not be enough time to activate the ships, the ships' relatively small size, slow transit speeds, long off-loading times compared with other ships, and the ready availability of U.S. and foreign flag commercial ships; (3) legislation has been introduced that would require that all Reserve Fleet ships built prior to 1946 be scrapped domestically; however, under present scrap market conditions, domestic ship scrappers have bid much less than foreign firms because of various economic, environmental, and safety factors that result in higher costs to U.S. firms; and (4) MARAD cannot ensure that non-RRF ships can be relied on as viable sealift assets because of ineffective dehumidification systems, inadequately controlled spare parts, doubtful availability of sufficient crews, unavailable ship condition documentation, and lack of written criteria and procedures for ship disposal.

Book excerpt: This study examines the ability of the National Security Sealift Policy to generate the necessary Ways and Means to respond to the two nearly simultaneous major theater wars (MTW) strategy. The thesis of this study is that strategic sealift is crucial to the U.S. ability to project military forces to protect its vital interests abroad. Therefore, a sound and workable National Security Sealift Policy is not only necessary but also essential in moving U.S. military forces in a power projection strategy. The National Security Council has used the National Security Sealift Policy as the blue print for developing concepts and procedures for deploying sealift assets to meet the requirements as specified in the Mobility Requirement Study Bottom-up Review. This study reviews the adequacy of the National Security Sealift Policy and its capability of meeting the sealift needs for the Defense Transportation System.
