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: 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.

Daniels and published by . This book was released on 1999-03-01 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Voluntary Intermodal Sealift Agreement (VISA) is an interagency agreement between the Department of Defense (DOD) and the Department of Transportation (DOT) and represents a new level of cooperation between the DOT's Maritime Administration, DOD, and U.S. commercial shipping companies. VISA was formulated in the wake of sealift lessons learned during the Persian Gulf War of 1990 to 1991 and was approved by the Secretary of Defense on January 30, 1997 as a sealift readiness program. The purpose of VISA is to make intermodal systems, including ships, ships' space, and intermodal equipment and management services available to DOD as required to support emergency deployment and sustainment of U.S. military forces. the President's National Security Strategy calls for the United States to be able to defeat adversaries in two distant, simultaneous major theater wars. According to DOD, VISA will provide adequate commercial sealift and intermodal capabilities, when combined with organic sealift assets, to provide sustainment in support of the National Security Strategy. This research examines the development of VISA, its implementation process, and analyses its ability to provide sufficient sealift in the event of two nearly simultaneous major regional conflicts.

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.
