MORE MOBILITY
Back during the run-up to the Iraq war, one of the constant themes of my military commentary was the need for greater global mobility -- strategic agility -- for U.S. forces. Part of the diplomatic problem was the long, drawn-out period of build-up created by the ponderous logistical train that had to be positioned to and prepared in Kuwait. The U.S. military is doing something about it. Here's an article about a new class of ship -- to be operated by the Army -- that will be used to provide much quicker deployment capabilities.
