Report To The Secretaries Of Defense And

Transportation And Director, Federal

Emergency Management Agency




Observations Concerning Plans And

Programs To Assure The Continuity Of

Vital Wartime Movements Through

United States Ports


Although U.S. ports are vitally important to military
mobilization, they are highly vulnerable to various wartime
disruptions such as sabotage and mines. Therefore, various
efforts have been initiated to address anticipated port
sustainability problems. Although much interest has been
generated and progress has occurred in recent years, the
problems are far from solved. Concerns in particular
involve
   --certain planning gaps,
   --the division of responsibility among various partic-
   ipants involved in movements through the ports
   during mobilization,

   --whether certain responsible agencies have adequate
   legislative authority to perform their roles, and
   --the Federal, State, and local Government, and private
   coordination needed to assure continued port opera-
   tions.
 The report contains observations regarding the nature and
 resolution of these problems.
