The 697-foot motor vessel loaded more than a dozen helicopters and 1,350 pieces of cargo that included a variety of tracked vehicles, Abrams and Paladins, wheeled vehicles, Humvees and trucks, and other equipment used to take part in Operation Atlantic Resolve in support of the 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division’s (stationed at Fort Carson, Colo.) deployment to Europe. MSC initiated the TACAD program for its SSO community in 2017. All SSOs hold unlimited tonnage deck or engineering merchant marine licenses in addition to commissions in the U.S. Navy Reserve.
