Book excerpt: 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 movement of sustainment requirements. This study presents a baseline simulation model to estimate the ability of a LHD to deliver the required logistic support. Experiments were conducted with various scenarios and distances between the deployed forces and the nominal Sea Base (LED) . Sensitivity analysis was conducted to determine the effects of various parameters on the ability of the Sea Base to successfully accomplish the given scenarios with the specified conditions. Results indicate a substantial increase in the number of aircraft, operational availability of those aircraft, and/or a substantial reduction in sustainment requirements are needed in order to successfully accomplish the stated scenarios of this study. The results of this study could support the design of future LED-class ships.
