Strategic Sealift ships, also known as Large, Medium Speed Roll-On/ Roll-Off ships, will fulfill the requirement of the Army for afloat prepositioning and will transport Army, Marine Corps, or other Service equipment from the Continental United States to contingency areas in a surge capability. The Navy is acquiring 19 ships, which the Military Sealift Command will operate using a civilian crew. The ships will consist of 5 converted commercial container ships and 14 new ships and will provide 2 million square feet for prepositioned Army equipment storage and 3 million square feet for surge sealift capacity as determined by the congressionally mandated Mobility Requirements Study. Our primary audit objective was to evaluate supportability planning for the Strategic Sealift Program and to determine whether the conversion and new construction versions will meet mission requirements. Specifically, the audit evaluated planning to determine whether the ships will support efficient storage, protection, and maintenance of weapon systems placed aboard ship. The audit also evaluated whether supportability planning for the ships themselves was adequate. Finally, the audit reviewed the management control programs applicable to the stated audit objectives.
