Ready Reserve Force (RRF) STRENGTHENING SECURITY The RRF provides surge sealift capacity for the military to move equipment quickly in support of contingencies. Because the primary purpose of the RRF is DOD support, the RRF is funded through the National Defense Sealift Fund, a DOD program, via interagency agreement. In 2011, DOD reviewed the 48-ship program and concluded that the RRF’s commercial-defense character is the most efficient service-provider model. Activations The following RRF vessels were activated in FY 2010 for Operation Unified Response, providing Haiti Earthquake Relief: Gopher State, Wright, Cape May, Cornhusker State, and Petersburg. Wright was activated for Exercise Carolina Hornet, the largest U. S. Marine Corps’ amphibious exercise held in many years. Two high speed ferries (Alakai and Huakai) held under MARAD receivership were also activated as part of Operation Unified Response. In addition, the Cape Texas and Flickertail State were activated in May for approximately three weeks for the Large Vessel Interface (LVI) cargo boom test off Panama City, FL. These vessels stayed under MARAD Operational Control throughout the operational period. In addition to vessel activations for exercises or operations, “Turbo Activations” test a vessel’s readiness, and include a three-day sea trial upon activation. Turbo activations have also been used as a means to relocate Fast Sealift Ships (FSS) to a new layberth. Turbo activation funds are provided from the NDSF via interagency agreement, in addition to the funds provided for the RRF. The following vessels were Turbo Activated in FY 2010: Vessel Turbo Activation Cape Edmont TA 10-03 Cape Flattery TA 10-03 Pollux TA 10-04 Cape Knox TA 10-05 Cape Texas TA 10-05 Capella TA 10-05 During FY 2011, three RRF ships were activated for DOD missions, for a total of 269 ship-days. Curtiss supported Exercise Pacific Horizon II; Wright supported a Canadian special operations exercise; Cape Trinity supported movement of cargo for operations in Iraq. Another 26 vessels were activated for readiness testing and to prove completion of vessel maintenance. Breakout Exercise An annual Breakout Exercise is conducted to test the procedures and coordination necessary for a major activation of MARAD’s Ready Reserve Force (RRF), including the ability of Navy reservists to support a major RRF all-ship activation, and the ability of commercial mariners to provide adequate skilled crews. In April 2010, approximately 96 percent of the personnel provided by the unions to man all sealift MSC ships were confirmed to be ready for deployment. In June 2011, 98 percent were able to deploy. Maintenance The Agency expends approximately $100 million annually maintaining and repairing the fleet at U.S. ship repair facilities. In addition, life cycle maintenance is also done on the RRF to extend asset life, costing an additional $14 million in 2010 and almost $30 million in 2011. These funds are 24
invested directly into U.S. shipyards, marine repair companies, and associated industries. The ships’ commercial mariner crews provide further maintenance that continues during the year. Good maintenance helps to reach the program goal of 85 percent readiness, which was exceeded at 90 percent in 2010 and 90 percent again in 2011. Readiness is measured in mission ready ship-days, accumulating the readiness days of all the RRF ships. The 90 percent means ship availability was at 16,098 ship-days in 2010 and 15,989 ship-days in 2011. Outporting 44 RRF vessels were kept in reduced operating status at 16 commercial layberth facilities in the U.S (the remaining 4 were berthed at anchor). Port facility operators received almost $30 million for their services. In fiscal year 2011, MARAD initiated negotiations to award a contract to design and build a new Beaumont Reserve Fleet Layberth Facility. When constructed, the facility will open an area on the east bank of the Neches River to industrial support, providing an economic boost to this low-income location. Maritime Command Center The Maritime Command Center (MCC) monitors ship activations and emergent world events. In fiscal years 2010 and 2011, the MCC supported several major operations.
