Army Pre-Positioned Stocks and High-Speed Sealift

Abstract

Strategic mobility is critical to our ability to augment forces already present in a region. The Army pre-positioned brigade sets in Qatar, Kuwait, South Korea, Europe, and Afloat are designed to enhance U.S. forward presence-allowing reinforcing brigades to be combat ready and able to deter aggression within days vice weeks/months. This paper will specifically look at land and afloat pre-positioned brigade sets and the utilization of high-speed sealift to enhance the Army's ability to quickly deploy in support of our National Military Strategy.
