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.

Download or read book National Defense written by U S Government Accountability Office (G and published by BiblioGov. This book was released on 2013-06 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A review was conducted of the capabilities of the National Defense Reserve Fleet (NDRF) to meet contingency shipping requirements. This fleet is the only source of reserve dry cargo shipping available during a military or commercial shipping crisis. During the past two decades the fleet performed satisfactorily but Department of Defense (DOD) requirements now depend on faster reactivation. Findings: The number of fleet vessels has been reduced and ships are not kept in condition for activation in time to meet DOD needs. A program has been sponsored to improve 30 Victory ships for faster readiness to satisfy immediate needs. Conclusions: Greater reliance on NDRF to respond to future contingencies will require additional funding. Recommendations: Review the fleet on a continuing basis to assure timely activation; consolidate data into a single NDRF profile; identify spare parts sources and maintain an inventory system; and develop long-range plans for acquiring ships.

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.

This book was released on 1979 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines various facets of activating the National Defense Reserve Force. Its history and background are reviewed and its present status of readiness considered. Specific areas covered are monetary costs, manpower capabilities (seagoing and ashore) as well as the physical condition and capabilities of the fleet. The sub-structure of the Reserve Fleet known as the Ready Reserve Force is covered in depth. In this area the inception of the ready force idea is presented along with its goals and accomplishments to date. Of unique interest is the joint funding of the Ready Reserve Force which is contributed to by both the Department of Commerce and the Department of Defense. Conclusions are drawn from its past performance, documented present status, and projected industrial capabilities. (Author).
