The Navy completed an at sea exercise to demonstrate the transfer of vehicles between a surrogate mobile landing platform ship and a large medium-speed roll-on/roll-off ship. The test, led by the Strategic Theater Sealift Office within the Navy's Program Executive Office Ships, is part of risk-reduction efforts for the Department of Defense Maritime Prepositioning Force (Future) when transferring military vehicles between ships at sea. The goal of the testing and the program is to provide the capability to the U.S. military for large-scale logistics movements from sea to shore without dependency on foreign ports.
