During Desert Shield/Storm massive amounts of equipment and material were moved by sealift from various locations to the theater of operations. In the succeeding ten years, much of the military's forward deployed equipment/ material has been returned to the United States. Additionally, the Military Sealift Command has acquired additional strategic sealift resources. In this paper I will briefly outline the sealift operations that supported Desert Shield/Storm. This outline will become the basic lift requirement. Additionally, I will highlight changes in locations of equipment/material and organic sealift capability since Desert Shield/Storm. Finally, I will draw conclusions and make recommendations on our ability to meet a like (Desert Shield/Storm Baseline) requirement given today's available organic and commercial sealift capability.

The deployment of U.S. forces to the Arabian Peninsula in Operations Desert Shield/Desert Storm (ODS) focused attention on deployment capabilities. ODS deployments showed the wisdom of prior mobility planning, organization, and investments. The deployments also benefited from modern and spacious seaports and airports in Saudi Arabia. Iraq allowed the United States five months of unopposed deployments. This Note describes the main dimensions of U.S. deployments to the Gulf area and reviews the performance of deployment systems. Some observations on needed improvements are included. The approach is largely descriptive. Where possible, performance is compared with expectations and plans. However, none of the available plans can be shown to have been feasible with the transportation available for ODS.
