This book was released on 2010 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fleet of 40 Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC) vessels is managed by Assault Craft Unit-5 located at Camp Pendleton, CA. LCACs are used to transport weapons systems, equipment, cargo, and personnel of the assault element of the Marine Air/Ground Task Force from ship to shore and across the beach. It is important that the Commanding Officer be able to forecast, with a reasonable degree of accuracy, the number of LCACs that will be available for tasking a fixed number of days in advance. As the LCAC fleet ages its time in maintenance increases, which in turn increases the uncertainty of achieving availability targets. This thesis examines factors that contribute to the availability of LCACs on a daily basis. Using logistic regression, a forecast model is developed from past data on availability and maintenance that has a prediction standard error of approximately two to three craft. The model can be used not only to forecast the number of available LCACs, but also to assist in planning and scheduling to better manage availability.

Download or read book Landing Craft Air Cushion in Action written by John Gourley and published by MMD-Squadron Signal. This book was released on 2016 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1966 a Landing Craft Coordinating Group was assembled to discuss and draft specifications for a new landing craft. The work resulted in the Patrol Air Cushion Vehicle (PACV) that saw service in Vietnam. By 1970 designs for an Amphibious Assault Landing Craft (AALC) were on the drawing board. The US Navy ordered the first three LCACs February 1982. LCACs move over rocks and other beach obstacles and have reduced susceptibility to damage from mines. The crew consists of five enlisted personnel: Deck Engineer, Load Master, Navigator, Engineer, and Craft Master. LCACs are not given names, only pennant numbers, to differentiate among them. With an originally specified 30-year life expectancy, LCACs would have begun to retire in 2004 except for a major Service Live Extension Program (SLEP) begun in 2001.

Irelan and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines the historical development of the landing craft and the roles and missions of the landing craft air cushion (LCAC). In examining the development of the modern landing craft from Gallipoli to Operation Desert Storm, a conclusion to the evolution of the landing craft can be reached. Once a determination as to the logical evolving of the conventional landing craft into the LCAC can be made, then an assessment as to the LCAC in modern day missions can be made. This study examines the evolution of the LCAC and makes an analysis of the recent missions that the LCAC participated in. The impetus for this research was to respond to the question of whether the LCAC fulfills modern day roles in expeditionary operations. This study determines that a current analysis of the LCAC in expeditionary missions could be accomplished by studying predominantly the historic roles of the landing craft. Roles that focus primarily on the landing craft as the primary movement of equipment and troops to the shore from amphibious shipping at sea. Current operations take into account the ability of the LCAC to operate from beyond the horizon. With the LCAC's speed and maneuverability what role will it have in the expeditionary doctrine of Operational Maneuver from the Sea? Deployment of landing craft including the LCAC is, for this study, delivered to the area of operations and then utilized for amphibious operations.
