Civilian Manning of AE, AFS, and AD Type Support Ships. Volume I

摘要

This study was done at the request of the Assistant Scereatary of Defense (Manpower, Reserve Affairs, and Logistics). It is a comprehensive analysis of the manpower requirements, mission capabilities, operational issues, and costs involved in civilian manning on the AE-26 (ammunition), AFS-1 (combat stores), and AD-37 (destroyer tender) type ships. Three major efforts have been incorporated into the analysis: the independent development of Notional Equal Capability Crews (NECC) to evaluate the civilian crews proposed by the Military Sealift Command (MSC), the analysis of a civilian manned AD Repair Department, and the development of Notional Modified Crewing Concept for commercial contract manning which follows more closely the Navy's stated requirements.
