What Do AOEs Do When They Are Deployed
Published Date: May 1, 2000
To better understand the utility of AOEs in peacetime, we wanted to learn how much business they do as CVBG station ships and who their customers are during forward deployment. To that end, in 1996 we asked the Navy to have deploying AOEs record their underway replenishment (UNREP) data and send it to CNA. We supplemented those data with similar AOE and substitute CVBG station ship data. This report documents the UNREP activity of the AOEs (and substitute CVBG station ships) when they are deployed. (It doesn't reflect the total logistics support Navy combatants receive from all sources.)
