An Analysis of Establishing a West Coast Training Site at Alameda, California, to Maximize Training Efficiencies and Overall Readiness of the Navy Expeditionary Logistics Support Group (NAVELSG) Subordinate Units
Abstract
Currently, there is only one training site for the entire cargo handling force in the U.S. Navy, and it is located on the East Coast at Williamsburg, Virginia (commonly referred to as Cheatham Annex). This study analyzes the cost and readiness implications of establishing a second cargo handling training site at Alameda, California. We investigate the training process and scheduling from the Fleet Readiness Training Plan (FRTP), and comment on how it aligns the lower echelon command with the strategic training objectives of the cargo handling force. The primary objectives of this study are to: (1) determine the necessary capacity, infrastructure, Table of Allowance (TOA), and asset utilization for an Alameda training site; (2) determine and establish the benchmark standard of the capacity, infrastructure, Table of Allowance (TOA), and asset utilization of the East Coast training site in Williamsburg, Virginia (CAX); and (3) recommend an efficient use of those assets to increase the mission readiness capability of the FIFTH Navy Expeditionary Logistics Regiment (NELR) units.
