Book excerpt: Strategic mobility is divided into three basic elements: airlift, sealift, and the prepositioning of supplies and equipment. The Military Sealift Command (MSC) is responsible for sealift and plays a major role in prepositioning ships and equipment. Through its programs, MSC provides flexibility and increased readiness to strategic mobility. This thesis discusses many interrelated sealift problems: labor and market vagaries, changing ship types and containerization, the changing nature of ports, deregulation and A-76 legislation, the decreasing U.S. merchant fleet, and the struggling shipbuilding industry. MSC's new tactics for strategic sealift, prepositioned ships and fast sealift support, better approach the intent of the national strategy to have surge capability and sustainability in fighting a war. Keywords: Theses; Strategic sealift; Prepositioning; Containerization; Deregulation; Changing ship type; Fast sealift support. (jhd).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spearhead of Logistics is a narrative branch history of the U.S. Army's Transportation Corps, first published in 1994 for transportation personnel and reprinted in 2001 for the larger Army community. The Quartermaster Department coordinated transportation support for the Army until World War I revealed the need for a dedicated corps of specialists. The newly established Transportation Corps, however, lasted for only a few years. Its significant utility for coordinating military transportation became again transparent during World War II, and it was resurrected in mid-1942 to meet the unparalleled logistical demands of fighting in distant theaters. Finally becoming a permanent branch in 1950, the Transportation Corps continued to demonstrate its capability of rapidly supporting U.S. Army operations in global theaters over the next fifty years. With useful lessons of high-quality support that validate the necessity of adequate transportation in a viable national defense posture, it is an important resource for those now involved in military transportation and movement for ongoing expeditionary operations. This text should be useful to both officers and noncommissioned officers who can take examples from the past and apply the successful principles to future operations, thus ensuring a continuing legacy of Transportation excellence within Army operations. Additionally, military science students and military historians may be interested in this volume.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The President's National Security Strategy calls for the U.S. military to "shape-respond-prepare" for a strategic environment that continues to advance U.S. interests. It also prescribes the necessity to move toward a more joint way of life. With increased emphasis on jointness, the Navy has made significant strides in becoming a partner with the other services. Not only are the serves more joint, but so are the organizations participating in contractual agreements. One area where DoD and industry have increased their joint relationship is in the area of strategic sealift. As the world's shipping industries have grown the U.S. industry has reduced by one third. This has presented DoD with a major dilemma. The current NSS calls for strategic sealift to support two simultaneous Major Regional Conflicts. The MSA of 1996 was passed by Congress to ensure supportability of U.S. forces overseas. The VISA is an agreement to make intermodal shipping services and capacity available to DoD as required to support the emergency deployment and sustainment of U.S. military forces. It is accomplished by cooperation between DoD, DoT, and Industry. This research presents analysis of current policies and sealift capabilities in support of the two MRC scenario.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today's U.S. National Military Strategy is shifting its focus away from its long standing history of containing the Soviet threat through a concept of forward deployment of U.S. forces, with reinforcing forces being drawn from the Continental United States (CONUS). Instead of forward stationing, the' United States is modifying its strategy to one that centers around responding to crises worldwide through power projection, primarily with major land and air forces based in CONUS. With the advent of the CONUS-based strategy, the Armed Forces' capability to project its forces rapidly by means of sealift has become even more critical. Since the Spanish-American War, the U.S. has depended on a strong Merchant Marine fleet to deploy forces to the theater of operations. Unfortunately, as America turns to its new CONUS-based strategy and sealift gains in importance, its merchant marine industry is seriously deteriorating. This paper examines the status of the America's sealift assets, both commercial and strategic reserves, in light of their role in supporting our Armed Forces. Additionally, it considers how these assets directly affect the National Command Authority's ability to execute its military strategy.
