Indeed god speed to the USNS Comfort.
As an interesting side note, we’ve actually stumbled upon a situation where speed matters. I wonder what other scenarios that may apply too.
V/R,
January 14th, 2010 at 6:37 pmHaiti related (port): Navy has been exercising JLOTS (Joint Logisitcs Over The Shore) capabilities with the Army (some USAF & USMC) between 1997 & now. We have the equipment & the trained people — time to execute!
One reason for JLOTS it is to enable a degraded port.
Reminder to all: JLOTS is very fragile (weather dependant). As long as there is decent weather, should be good-to-go, but a complicated evolution.
