reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA578541 | Open PDF

Abstract:

Naval Special Warfare Group 4 NSWG-4 provides Special Operations Craft Riverine SOCR and boat crews for operational use within Special Operations Command SOCOM. In this report, we analyze the logistics support provided for these craft. We review the literature dealing with life cycle costs, life cycle management, operational availability, and repair kitting as they relate to logistics support for the SOCR. We create a model for determining the required pre-staged inventories needed to maintain an objective availability for SOCR. We also create a simulation to analyze the impacts of parameters affecting operational availability. We use the literature review and data analysis to inform recommendations to improve logistics support for the SOCR.
