This book was released on 2007-07-05 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ministry of Defence needs the capability to transport personnel, equipment and stores from the UK to operational theatres across the globe. This capability, known as Strategic Lift, can by delivered by sea, land or air, and its annual cost to the MoD is almost £800 million a year. The Committee's report examines the progress of the MoD in delivering the Strategic Lift requirements set out in the Strategic Defence Review and whether these requirements need to be revisited given the experience of the operations in Afghanistan and Iraq. Findings include that good progress has been made in improving strategic sea-lift, particularly in relation to Ro-Ro ships and the acquisition of Landing Platform Dock (Auxiliary) vessels. However, strategic air-lift is a particular concern given the age of many of the aircraft, and the report looks at the progress of two major equipment programmes designed to deliver new transport aircraft (the A400M transport aircraft) and new tanker aircraft (the Future Strategic Tanker Aircraft).

Download or read book Powerlift Getting to Desert Storm written by Doug Menarchik and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 1993-09-30 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Logistics, the movement of forces to battlefields, their supply, and on-going support, is critical to military success. Although this principle is theoretically accepted, the importance of being well-prepared to rapidly transport troops and supplies to distant crisis points has not been complemented, as Menarchik shows, by adequate lift capabilities. The author uses the six-month buildup to Desert Storm as proof that the United States needs to increase the priority of logistics in strategy and improve its strategic transport capabilities, especially surge strategic lift. Current transport capabilities will not be positioned or structured to respond effectively to the contingencies associated with America's growing responsibilities given the realities of the New World Order. Menarchik, himself an experienced pilot, policy planner, and operational commander, clearly demonstrates that Powerlift directly affects choices, timing, strategy development and implementation, and sweeping policy options. He shows that although combat strategy and tactics receive high profile attention it is Lift capability and capacity as a prerequisite that is fundamental to attaining objectives. Readers will learn where, how, and why America needs to improve its capabilities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper analyzes strategic lift and the support needed to provide mobility to a Force Projection Army. The paper begins with an introduction about the strategic responsiveness of the United States Army and an explanation about why the Army is attempting to introduce the medium-weight brigade. The strategic lift triad is then analyzed using three elements that help form a Force Projection Army, rapid deployment from stateside bases, forces that are postured for a forced entry, and violent exploitation of the enemy following the initial shock of the assault, for their applicability to a Force Projection Army. A brief explanation and introduction about the strategic lift triad is given. This is followed by an explanation about why the United States Army has adopted this program. Finally, the paper draws a conclusion about the viability and usefulness of the strategic lift triad to the United States Army. This paper argues that the strategic lift triad will support a Force Projection Army and that the current procurement of systems in support of the triad will help make the United States Army more responsive to the Nations needs well into the 21st Century.

Download or read book Airlift Doctrine written by Charles Miller and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2012-08-01 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: n this extremely comprehensive overview of airlift and air mobility, Colonel Miller shows how the worldwide orientation of American foreign policy, the numerous threats to free-world interests, and the speed and complexity of modern warfare have combined with political and resource constraints to produce today's airlift doctrine and force structure. Airlift is the movement of goods and people to where they are needed, when they are needed there. Since the 1920s there has been an evolving awareness and articulation of how to best organize, train, and equip airlift forces for that mission. The worldwide orientation of American foreign policy, the numerous threats to free world interests, and the speed and complexity of modern warfare have combined with political and resource constraints to produce today's airlift doctrine and force structure. Colonel Miller's study traces these many interrelationships to discover what critical airlift decisions were made, why they were made, and what they may mean in the future. Airlift is the backbone of deterrence. A properly structured and equipped airlift force is critical to the successful execution of the national military strategy. How we think about airlift and how we translate those thoughts into a meaningful expression of how to develop, deploy, and employ airlift forces is vital to the national defense. Colonel Miller's study is a definitive step in that important process.
