Excerpt: “The U.S. Army’s watercraft fleet is designed to carry supplies, vehicles, and people in deep ocean and shallow coastal waters, as well as provide access by water to remote, undeveloped areas. Demand for Army watercraft is increasing, especially in the Indo-Pacific. However, the fleet has shrunk by about half since 2018. Moreover, the Army has struggled to maintain its watercraft and less than 40% of the fleet can perform its missions. The Army is working on building new watercraft and setting a strategy to modernize the fleet. However, it hasn’t fully analyzed how to meet current and near-term needs. Our 4 recommendations address this issue.”
