Sea Basing, a fundamental concept in Sea Power 21, the Navy's operational vision for the 21st century, is designed to help joint force commanders accelerate deployment and employment of naval power and to enhance seaborne positioning of joint assets. It will do so by minimizing the need to build up a logistics stockpile ashore, reducing the operational demand for sealift and airlift assets, and permitting forward positioning of joint forces for immediate employment. The cornerstone of sea-based logistics on the brigade scale is the Maritime Pre-positioning Force and its future version, the MPF(F). The Maritime Pre-positioning Force currently consists of three forward deployed squadrons of maritime pre-positioning ships, each with five or six vessels with weapons, supplies, and equipment sufficient to support a force about the size of a Marine Expeditionary Brigade for up to 30 days. The MPF(F) will be composed of multiple ship types designed to support a Marine Expeditionary Brigade and provide functions not currently provided by the MPF, such as at-sea arrival, assembly, sustainment, reconstitution, and redeployment of Expeditionary Forces, as well as Expeditionary Strike Group interoperability. Current plans call for an MPF(F) squadron comprising three large-deck amphibious ships, three Mobile Landing Platform transport ships, and eight cargo ships.
