Sealift in Crisis: State of the Ready Reserve Force

Abstract

The Desert Shield/Desert Storm Operation illuminated significant problem areas with the U.S. Strategic Sealift program. These problems directly impacted the U.S. ability to deploy significant forces into a major regional conflict. I intend to review the role of the Ready Reserve Force(RRF) in this operation. I will highlight problems identified and what solutions are and should be implemented to correct the RRF shortcomings.
