Abstract
ABSTRACTCongress effectively scuttled the FDL Fast Deployment Logistics ship program, at least for another year. Coming at a time when talks for the reduction of strategic weaponry are promising, there are many who feel that the cancellation of the FDL is a further undermining of the capability of the military to effectively support U.S. foreign policy and world wide commitments. Although long rumored as the “first to go” in a budget squeeze, some planners feel the current Congressional action is a dangerous ploy. There are also indications that DOD may yet reclama for funds for a pilot model. In light of this concern and the current program cancellation, AFM in this report summarizes the concept and the DOD rationale behind the FDL.
