Military Sealift Command (MSC)

The Military Sealift Command (MSC) is a United States Navy organization responsible for providing logistical support to U.S. military operations worldwide. It manages a fleet of civilian-crewed ships that deliver essential supplies, equipment, fuel, and ammunition to military forces, often operating independently of combat zones. MSC ships enable sustained military operations by ensuring that troops and equipment have the necessary resources, functioning as a crucial logistical backbone. They also support humanitarian missions, transport personnel, and conduct specialized projects, all while working alongside active-duty military units to maintain operational readiness and global presence.
