Military Sealift Command hosted members of the Advanced Study of Air Mobility (ASAM) Course for a visit this week. Fourteen U.S. Air Force majors were briefed on MSC’s mission and future operations to understand the command’s role supporting the joint warfighter in a contested logistics environment. The officers also toured the dry cargo and ammunition ship USNS William McLean (T-AKE 12). The ASAM provides a select group of officers with an in-depth education in logistics and air mobility, to develop key mobility advisors to serve on the staffs of the war-fighting commands and prepare future leaders for air mobility operations. #UnitedWeSail #TogetherWeDeliver

This week’s Military Sealift Command “Ship in the Spotlight,” is the high-speed transport vessel USNS Guam (HST 1). Last week, the crew aboard Guam completed a large-scale offload operation of military personnel and equipment at Pohang Port, South Korea, as part of Freedom Banner 25. The Mariners coordinated with Marines from the 3rd Marine Logistic Group (MLG) to offload and transport approximately 900 Marines and Sailors with III Marine Expeditionary Force (MEF) units along with vehicles and logistical equipment in a single day. Freedom Banner 25 is a Maritime Prepositioning Force exercise where 3rd MLG offloads equipment and provides support to III MEF units training throughout South Korea, testing and validating 3rd MLG’s ability to conduct integrated logistics operations in complex environments. #UnitedWeSail #TogetherWeDeliver
