Simulation of Sea Based Logistics Support of Operational Maneuver from the Sea by Kyle A. Bryan Pdf

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.

Analysis of Inter/Intra Ship Materiel Movement in Sea Based Logistics Using Simulation by Michael J. Curtin Pdf

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.

Naval Expeditionary Logistics by Committee on Naval Expeditionary Logistics,Commission on Physical Sciences, Mathematics, and Applications,Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences,National Research Council Pdf

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.

Demonstrating the Requirement for Amphibious Ready Group (ARG) Replenishment in Sea-based Logistics Operations by Max A. Willey Pdf

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.

The Role of Experimentation in Building Future Naval Forces by National Research Council,Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences,Naval Studies Board,Committee for the Role of Experimentation in Building Future Naval Forces Pdf

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.

Operational Maneuver from the Sea Logistics Training Aid by John R. Sterba Pdf

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.

Warfighting and Logistic Support of Joint Forces from the Joint Sea Base by Robert Button Pdf

The initial finding of this study was that, under the conditions used for the MPF(F) Analysis of Alternatives, the sea base has little sustainment capability beyond that needed for the portion of a MEB that is projected ashore for operations."--BOOK JACKET.
