Book Description

Investments in amphibious capabilities by U.S. partners and allies in the Asia Pacific is altering the range of capabilities available in that region. It is also changing the types and frequency of exercises partner nations seek to undertake with the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps team. This study examines ally- and partner-nation investments in amphibious capabilities, how those capabilities will impact demand for U.S. forces, and the range of U.S. amphibious fleet composites to meet the changing demand.

Book Description

Named a "Notable Naval Book of 2012" by Proceedings magazine, Pirate Alley is now available in paperback. The book provides an in-depth look at every aspect of Somali piracy, from how the pirates operate to how the actions of a relative handful of youthful criminals and their bosses have impacted the world economy. It explores the debate over the recently adopted practice of putting armed guards aboard merchant ships, and focuses on the best management practices that are changing the ways that ships are outfitted for travel through what’s known as the High-Risk Area. Readers will learn that the consequence of protecting high quality targets such as container ships and crude oil carriers may be that pirates turn to crime on land, such as the kidnapping of foreigners.

Book Description

The purpose of the ordnance corps is to support the development, production, acquisition and sustainment of equipment- including weapons systems and munitions- and to provide explosive ordnance disposal (EOD), during peace and war, to provide superior combat power to the United States (U.S.) Army. The ordnance corps has a rich and robust history of supporting the force dating back from the American Revolution to present day. The future of our nation and Army will continue to be engaged in an era of "persistent conflict" a period of protracted confrontation among states, non-state, and individual actors increasingly willing to use violence to achieve their political and ideological ends. The ordnance corps must evolve and remain the indispensable sustainment warfighting function in order for the Army to successfully execute simultaneous and protracted operations.

Book Description

The increasing cost of manpower in the United States Navy and the decline of the defense budget generated a new initiative called the Smart Ship Program. Smart Ship, using a combination of technology and nontraditional policies and procedures to reduce manning on U.S. naval vessels, was first implemented on the USS Yorktown (CG 48). However, some of the technology and concepts were not readily transferable to other ship classes. The USS Rushmore (LSD 47) was chosen to implement and evaluate Smart Ship concepts on an amphibious ship through the Smart Gator Program. This thesis evaluated the impact of Smart Gator on the mission readiness of the Rushmore by conducting interviews with key Smart Gator Program personnel, reviewing pertinent data and analyzing the Rushmore's Engineering Certification Report of October 1998. This study shows that the initial reduction in manpower, combined with increased training required on new equipment, produced an increase in the crew's workload and negatively impacted mission readiness. Additionally, the interviews indicate that Navy research and development funds should be dedicated to this effort in order to properly execute the Smart Gator Program.
