>Navy Maritime Prepositioning Ships, Squadron Two: The Diego Garcia-based Squadron Two of Maritime Prepositioning Ships consists of 19 ships, with enough supplies and equipment aboard to support 16,500 troops for 30 days. These ships are not only capable of transporting diverse cargoes, such as fuel, ammunition, and vehicles in combination and in large quantities, they are also capable of offloading their cargoes swiftly and safely from offshore stations, even under poor sea and weather conditions. During Exercise “Native Fury ‘98” in Kuwait in May 1998, for example, the Diego Garcia-based Vehicle Cargo Ship, Corporal Louis J. Hauge, successfully transferred amphibious assault vehicles, 155mm. howitzers, and M–1 battle tanks, among other items, to the shore. This represented the first large-scale landing of major items of equipment undertaken since the 1990–91 Gulf War. 28 In organisational terms, this squadron of ships at Diego Garcia forms a part of US Central Command.
