About MSC

Military Sealift Command (MSC) is the leading provider of ocean transportation for the Navy and the rest of the Department of Defense –operating approximately 120 ships daily around the globe. MSC is represented by five geographic area commands (Atlantic, Pacific, Europe, Middle East and Far East), which exercise tactical control of all assigned USTRANSCOM forces and MSC forces not otherwise assigned to the numbered fleet commanders. The area command staffs are primarily responsible for the execution of strategic sealift missions. The MSC area
Commanders are U.S. Navy captains who serve as the primary points of contact for MSC customers and numbered fleet commanders in their respective areas. These area commanders also serve as the MSC commander's direct link to MSC ships, providing maintenance oversight, logistics coordination and other needed services.
