PREPOSITIONING PROGRAM

摘要

BRIEFING: The ships in each of the three Maritime Prepo-sitioning Ship squadrons (MPSRONs) carry enough equipment to support the sustainment and assault follow-on requirements of a Marine Air-Ground Task Force of about 15,750 Marines for approximately 30 days. The ships can offload equipment at established port facilities — or at anchor — using onboard Navy barges operated by Naval Support Element forces. MPSRON assets complement naval amphibious forces.
