It also discusses the Congressionally mandated MRS of 1992, the DOD recommended development of an integrated mobility plan that gives the Army a strategically effective deployment capability based on the current reduction-in-force and the revised national security strategy. The study also identifies a shortfall of three million square feet of surge sealift capability and a shortfall of two million square feet of prepositioned sealift capability to carry Army combat, combat support, and combat service support equipment.
