The Mobility Traid and Challenges for the Operational Commander

Abstract

The Mobility Triad of airlift, sealift, and prepositioning is a successful strategic concept, but lacks depth in its structure to accomplish the mobility mission down to the operational level. The structure is designed for strategic employment, but does not integrate well into theater requirements, without operational trade-off. This paper will discuss the significant advantages and disadvantages the operational commander must address in order to fulfill their deployment requirements.
