Abstract:

This study evaluates the recommended changes to current shipboard allowance policy resulting from a recent CNA Center for Naval Analyses study. The objective is to determine the impact of these changes on peacetime Fleet support. Historical CASREPCasualty Reporting System data were used to identify equipments essential to primary missions. The current COSAL Coordinated Shipboard Allowance List model was modified to stock a greater range of items supporting these equipments. The impact was then measured in terms of range of items stocked, investment, effectiveness, and reductions in CASREP requisitions.
