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).

The primary mission of the military sealift command (msc) is to provide sealift for strategic mobility in support of national security objectives. This mission, known as strategic sealift, demands the capacity to deploy and sustain military forces whenever and wherever needed. As rapidly and for as long as operational requirements dictate. This mission is accomplished through the activation of three forces: strategic sealift; the naval fleet auxiliary force, and the special support force. MSC fulfills its mission through the employment of strategic sealift forces from two principal sources. U.S. government-owned ships and the U.S. merchant marine. But government-owned vessels provide only a small part of the necessary sealift capability; as a result, in time of war or national emergency the vast majority must be chartered or requisitioned from the regularly operating U.S.-flag fleet. An ancillary MSC mission is management of naval fleet auxiliary force, comprised of dedicated sealift assets of the MSC force that provide direct support for power protection of navy fleet operations worldwide. Examples are oilers, stores ships, and ocean surveillance ships. A third mission is the operation of a special mission support force, made up of dedicated sealift assets that provide support for specialized scientific and technical missions that provide data required for sea control. Examples are oceanographic research, hydrographic survey, and missile telemetry.
