Army Transformation at Sea: The New Theater Support Vessel

摘要

The army's new Theater Support Vessel (TSV) is a rapidly developed response to the transformational operational maneuver and sustain-ment demands of force-projection operations. The TSV is a fast-moving, shallow-draft vessel that can simultaneously move troops and their equipment together as combat-ready units within theater and deploy them with little or no reception, staging, onward movement, and integration (RSOI) activities at undeveloped ports. The TSV also provides follow-on sustainment through joint logistics over-the-shore (JLOTS) operations.
