Port Improvement via Exigent Repair (PIER)
Abstract
PIER will deliver a dynamic, agile, cost effective (non-military construction) expeditionary engineering solution to rapidly repair damaged or degraded ports to a minimum level of serviceability after an attack or natural disaster. Agility is achieved through a smaller footprint, commercial off-the-shelf infusion, and quick reaction of theater-based repair assets (e.g. pre-packaged, pre-positioned). The intent of PIER is to assure continued logistics resiliency and freedom for our U.S. Forces to maneuver and conduct agile strategic sealift and logistics. PIER will allow the Department to address the doctrine, organization, training, materiel, leadership, personnel, facility, and policy (DOTMLPF+P) concerns about its ability to conduct rapid port damage repair. The plan is to transition to the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy and the Defense Logistics Agency.
