Abstract
Operational Maneuver From the Sea (OMFTS) and its implementing
concept, Sea Based Logistics (SBL) stress the
need for logistically supporting forces ashore directly from
a sea base. This study analyzes the capability of a current
LHD-class amphibious ship to sustain a force deployed
ashore through direct Ship-To-Objective Maneuver
(STOM) of replenishment and logistics support. We have
developed a simulation model that can evaluate performance
of STOM operations using an LHD-class amphibious
ship as a sea base. Results indicate a substantial increase in
the number of aircraft, and reliability of those aircraft,
and/or a substantial reduction in sustainment requirements
are needed in order to successfully accomplish the scenarios
used in this study. The results of this study could support
the design of future LHD-class ships.
