Strategic Mobility: Serious Problems Remain in U.S. Deployment Capabilities
Abstract
DOD has identified extensive mobility requirements for its sealift and airlift forces. During major regional conflicts, the requirements call for moving as much cargo in 8 weeks as was moved during the first 6 months of the Persian Gulf War. These requirements are based on key assumptions made by DOD, including assumptions about the availability of ships, aircraft, and prepositioned assets. We raised questions about many of these assumptions in a report issued last year, We understand that DODs stated mobility requirements are likely to increase even further under a study now being conducted by the Department.
