TASK

• Load the 2015 MEB and supporting Navy forces utilizing NAVSEA 05D proposed Maritime Prepositioned Ships (Future) designs to determine the effects on fit, form and function of the Maritime Prepositioned Force (Future).

4

ASSUMPTIONS• 2015 MEB with Supporting Navy Forces include

equipment and personnel that accurately reflects the desired Warfighting capabilities

• Container count of 2888 detailed in the Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) is correct

• Ships and Ship-Mix options are viable designs• Shipboard systems support selective off-load and

delivery of vehicles and cargo to required spaces, supporting the At-Sea Arrival & Assembly and Employment of the force

• ICODES deck diagrams are accurate (i.e., ramps, bulkheads, stanchions, heights, deck strengths and hatches)

LOAD PLAN ANALYSIS SUMMARY

It takes ~1 mil net sqft of RO/RO space to properly stow the MPF(F) rolling stock regardless of ship design

Option 1 (Distributed Capabilities) and Options 2 & 5 (Family of Ships) are the only mixes that support the 8-10 hour timeline for offload of the MPF(F).

All proposed ship designs hold ~25% to 50% of container requirement.

From an Embarkation perspective, the Distributed Capabilities ships are more flexible for Assignment to Shipping and allows more force loading options

13

Option 1: DISTRIBUTED CAPABILITIES (MILITARIZED)

Eleven 5.1.3M (R/W & T/R Only) and One Utility/Cargo Ship

Notes:

1. “Container Ship” is a ship specifically designed for TEU container hauling only. RO/RO is LMSR equivalent.

2. MEB Sea Base Echelon (SBE) = 8,427 plus estimated NSE tailored to number of ships/LCACs as appropriate.

3. T/E includes vehicles and unit equipment that will occupy vehicle spaces.

4. The 2015 Baseline MEB Sea Based ACE includes: 4 VMM (48 MV-22), 1 HMH (rein) (20 CH-53X), 1 HMLA (18 AH-1Z, 9 UH-1Y), 1 VMU (8 UAV), plus 10 Navy SH-60 SAR Acft (or 1+ per ship). The Fixed wing portion of the ACE is comprised of 3 VMFA (30 JSF), 1 VMGR (12 KC-130), and 1 VMAQ (5 EA-18). The fixed wing aircraft will be sea-based aboard other platforms or shore-based.

5.1.3 RECAP

• Given the assumptions, methodology, guidance and criteria, eight 5.1.3 ships and one utility/cargo ship would support the embarkation, deployment, arrival & assembly, but not the employment of the MPF(F) EDL and personnel by surface even when combined with ESG assets. Delta of 1576 TEU’s requiring storage on the utility/cargo ship

5.1.3 was abandoned by NAVSEA. Aft material handling area was found to be ineffective during skin to

skin replenishment simulations. Moving cargo handling to amidships forces the hangar out of the deck

house and into the hull below the flight deck. No Aircraft Elevator made a below hangar deck unworkable.

not the personnel or aircraft.

DISTRIBUTED CAPABILITY SHIP

REVIEW

• Nine 5.1.3B Ships + One Container Ship per MPSRON(F). All other Distributed Capability options have been abandoned by NAVSEA.

• Design will hold the 2015 MEB with supporting Navy forces (Prepositioned & FIE equipment and SBE personnel).

• Requires a container ship that carries 1628 TEU’s.• Ship supports MEB Aviation footprint and Air Assault.• Ship supports Surface Assault (with the addition ESG assets

and a Mobile Loading Platform (MLP) providing multiple loading spots).
