This book was released on 2001-12-01 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Operational Maneuver From the Sea (OMFTS) and its implementing concept, Sea Based Logistics (SBL), stress the need for logistically supporting forces ashore directly from a sea base. This study analyzes the capability of a current LHD-class amphibious ship to sustain a force deployed ashore through direct ship-to-objective movement of sustainment requirements. This study presents a baseline simulation model to estimate the ability of a LHD to deliver the required logistic support. Experiments were conducted with various scenarios and distances between the deployed forces and the nominal Sea Base (LED) . Sensitivity analysis was conducted to determine the effects of various parameters on the ability of the Sea Base to successfully accomplish the given scenarios with the specified conditions. Results indicate a substantial increase in the number of aircraft, operational availability of those aircraft, and/or a substantial reduction in sustainment requirements are needed in order to successfully accomplish the stated scenarios of this study. The results of this study could support the design of future LED-class ships.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the request of the Chief of Naval Operations, the National Research Council (NRC) conducted a study to determine the technological requirements, operational changes, and combat service support structure necessary to land and support forces ashore under the newly evolving Navy and Marine Corps doctrine. The Committee on Naval Expeditionary Logistics, operating under the auspices of the NRC's Naval Studies Board, was appointed to (1) evaluate the packaging, sealift, and distribution network and identify critical nodes and operations that affect timely insertion of fuels, ammunition, water, medical supplies, food, vehicles, and maintenance parts and tool blocks; (2) determine specific changes required to relieve these critical nodes and support forces ashore, from assault through follow-on echelonment; and (3) present implementable changes to existing support systems, and suggest the development of innovative new systems and technologies to land and sustain dispersed units from the shoreline to 200 miles inland. In the course of its study, the committee soon learned that development of OMFTS is not yet at a stage to allow, directly, detailed answers to many of these questions. As a result, the committee addressed the questions in terms of the major logistics functions of force deployment, force sustainment, and force medical support, and the fundamental logistics issues related to each of these functions.
Download or read book Analysis of Inter Intra Ship Materiel Movement in Sea Based Logistics Using Simulation written by Michael J. Curtin and published by . This book was released on 2001-06 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Operational Maneuver From the Sea (OMFTS) and its implementing concept, Sea Based Logistics (SBL) stress the need for logistically supporting forces ashore directly from a sea base. This implies a radically different approach for supporting forces ashore in the future. This study analyzes the concept of SBL in the area of inter-ship and intra-ship movement of materiel as well as ship-to-objective materiel movement in order to gain insight into the envisioned SBL support concept. This study presents a conceptual model blending aspects of current underway replenishment (UNREP) processes with an operational scenario incorporating the tenets of the OMFTS and SBL concepts. A baseline simulation model was developed to estimate UNREP cycle times under various scenarios. Experiments were conducted by modifying the baseline model to assess the impact on inter/intra ship materiel movement cycle time by increasing the lift capacity of the helicopters used for vertical replenishment (VERTREP) as well as increasing the number helicopters used for VERTREP. Results indicate that an increase in helicopter lift capacity significantly reduce overall cycle time, more importantly UNREP cycle time. The simulation model identifies constraining resources (i.e., elevators and forklifts) that are on the critical path of operations. Results of this thesis will eventually help to configure the amphibious ships used for SEL in the future.

This book was released on 1997 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Operational Maneuver From the Sea (OMFTS) is a new Concept under development by the Marine Corps. OMFTS is a warfighting concept that revises the way combat power is projected in littoral regions in that it uses the sea as a maneuver space and safe haven for logistics, while further adopting ship to objective operations. Sea-Based Logistics (SBL) uses the Amphibious Ready Group (ARG) ships to provide a sea-base from which combat forces ashore are directly sustained. To function in this new capacity, the ARG units need replenishment to maintain high stockage levels of fuel, ammunition, and stores. This thesis develops a computer simulation for modeling the logistical support needed for ARG units functioning in a sea-base role for supporting OMFTS.

Download or read book Operational Maneuver from the Sea Logistics Training Aid written by John R. Sterba and published by . This book was released on 1999-09-01 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Changes in the global situation resulting from the demise of the Soviet Union have led to major restructuring in United States' military. As a result the Navy and Marine Corps have reevaluated amphibious concepts, resulting in Operational Maneuver From the Sea (OMFTS), and Sea Based Logistics (SBL). OMFTS supposed by SBL rely on a "sea-base" to act as the staging area for the dissemination of supplies to the amphibious units ashore. This close integration of Navy and Marine Corps logistics requires Naval Officers and Marine Corps Officers be aware of each other's requirements. Current training aids do not model OMFTS and SBL To facilitate training a modular computer-based wargame called NAVLOGS has been developed with the logistics concerns of OMFTS and SBL in mind. The core classes of NAVLOGS include the Scenario Builder, the Coastline Model, and a Map Scale Generator. These core classes enable the user to create scenarios for NAVLOGS with little or no programming skill thus taking scenario design from the programmers and giving it to the end user.

Download or read book Force Multiplying Technologies for Logistics Support to Military Operations written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2014-12-15 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mission of the United States Army is to fight and win our nation's wars by providing prompt, sustained land dominance across the full range of military operations and spectrum of conflict in support of combatant commanders. Accomplishing this mission rests on the ability of the Army to equip and move its forces to the battle and sustain them while they are engaged. Logistics provides the backbone for Army combat operations. Without fuel, ammunition, rations, and other supplies, the Army would grind to a halt. The U.S. military must be prepared to fight anywhere on the globe and, in an era of coalition warfare, to logistically support its allies. While aircraft can move large amounts of supplies, the vast majority must be carried on ocean going vessels and unloaded at ports that may be at a great distance from the battlefield. As the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have shown, the costs of convoying vast quantities of supplies is tallied not only in economic terms but also in terms of lives lost in the movement of the materiel. As the ability of potential enemies to interdict movement to the battlefield and interdict movements in the battlespace increases, the challenge of logistics grows even larger. No matter how the nature of battle develops, logistics will remain a key factor. Force Multiplying Technologies for Logistics Support to Military Operations explores Army logistics in a global, complex environment that includes the increasing use of antiaccess and area-denial tactics and technologies by potential adversaries. This report describes new technologies and systems that would reduce the demand for logistics and meet the demand at the point of need, make maintenance more efficient, improve inter- and intratheater mobility, and improve near-real-time, in-transit visibility. Force Multiplying Technologies also explores options for the Army to operate with the other services and improve its support of Special Operations Forces. This report provides a logistics-centric research and development investment strategy and illustrative examples of how improved logistics could look in the future.

This book was released on 2005-01-08 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department of Defense is in the process of transforming the nation's armed forces to meet the military challenges of the 21st century. Currently, the opportunity exists to carry out experiments at individual and joint service levels to facilitate this transformation. Experimentation, which involves a spectrum of activities including analyses, war games, modeling and simulation, small focused experiments, and large field events among other things, provides the means to enhance naval and joint force development. To assist the Navy in this effort, the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) asked the National Research Council (NRC) to conduct a study to examine the role of experimentation in building future naval forces to operate in the joint environment. The NRC formed the Committee for the Role of Experimentation in Building Future Naval Forces to perform the study.
Download or read book Modeling Sea Based Sustainment of Marine Expeditionary Unit Special Operations Capable MEU SOC Operations Ashore written by Robert Martin Hagan and published by . This book was released on 1998-09-01 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Marine Corps has embraced the concepts of Operational Maneuver From The Sea (OMFTS) and Ship-to-Objective Maneuver (STOM) as the next progression in the evolution of amphibious warfare. These related concepts envision harnessing emerging technologies to allow the projection of naval power ashore faster and from greater distances than in the past. Additionally, both concepts identify the ability to conduct sea-based logistics (SBL) as a key requirement for successful implementation. Sea-based logistics involves executing a wide range of logistical functions from a sea-base rather than from sites traditionally established ashore. Acknowledged enhancements are required to realize a complete SBL capability; however, the ability to provide some measure of sea-based sustainment exists today. This thesis models the sea-based sustainment of Marine Expeditionary Unit (Special Operations Capable) (MEU(SOC)) forces deployed from Amphibious Ready Group (ARG) ships. Missions are developed for analysis; each is coupled with an appropriate force package of personnel and equipment density. Sustainment requirements and available transportation capacities are then determined and compared for each mission. This comparison along with several excursions provides insight into the nature of sea-based sustainment feasibility. It also gauges potential limitations for sea-based sustainment.
