Introduction Since inception, the Air Force munitions Afloat Prepositioned Fleet (APF) has been, and will remain a key pillar of the Department of Defense (DoD) Global Force Management and prepositioning.
In 1997, it assumed responsibility for Army and Air Force ammunition prepositioned afloat programs, supporting the cyclic maintenance and loading of ammunition aboard long-term chartered ammo vessels.
Additionally, the availability of equipment may be limited because the Army and Marine Corps have already deployed much of their equipment to Iraq and much of the prepositioned assets also have been withdrawn to support ongoing operations.
