This thesis focuses on the Combined Service, a five ship
scheduled breakbulk shipping operation, managed by the
Military Sealift Command, Pacific. The object is to define
the operation within the context of U.S. breakbulk requirements
and worldwide breakbulk assets so as to provide a
broader perspective to military decision makers. The
research effort is directed at identifying major internal
and external environmental factors impacting the Combined
Service. Once these factors are addressed from a general
perspective, their significance is specifically related to
the Combined Service. The conclusion notes five trends
observed throughout the analysis that should be considered
when determining future utilization of limited Q.S. breakbulk
assets.
