Military Sealift Command (MSC) operated more than 110 ships every day around the globe, delivering combat equipment, supplies and fuel to deployed U.S. and coalition war fighters. During the year,MSC ships delivered more than 7 million square feet of dry cargo and 2.3 billion gallons of fuel and other petroleum products, as you can see in the charts on the opposite page. Since the global war on terrorism began in 2001,MSC has delivered enough combat cargo to fill a supply train that would stretch from New York City to Las Vegas and enough fuel to fill a man-made circular lake a mile across and almost 97 feet deep. MSC provided direct support to Navy combatants through at- sea replenishment, ocean surveillance and gathering oceanographic survey data. We also supported U.S. and coalition armed services through the prepositioning of combat equipment at sea, ready to quickly deploy to any location. Throughout the year,MSC provided outstanding, cost-effective service and played a pivotal role in the nation's defense. This report covers guiding principles, organization, subordinate commands, and programs.
