  The Joint High Speed Vessel (JHSV) Program

  by Major Christopher Frey, USMC Strategic and Theater Sealift Program Office

  The Joint High Speed Vessel (JHSV) Program is taking advantage of extensive commercial investment in
  high speed vessel technology to develop an effective, affordable intra-theater military sealift capability.
  This ship will enable combatant commanders to transport 700 short tons of combat-ready units over a
  distance of 1200 nautical miles at 35 knots. It will have the ability to off-load in an austere environment
  with minimal shore infrastructure. On November 13, 2008 the Navy awarded a fixed price incentive
  contract to Austal USA for detail design and construction of the lead JHSV, plus nine JHSV options.

  
  Major Frey graduated from the United States Naval Academy in May 1994, was commissioned into the US
  Marine Corps, and charted a course in logistics. After several Logistics Officer assignments ashore and at
  sea, he attended the Naval Postgraduate School for a Master of Science degree in Operations Research. In
  November 2000 he became a logistics analyst with the Readiness and Analysis Department of Marine
  Corps Logistics Command in Albany, Georgia.
  Following operations and logistics assignments at 3rd Marine Division, on Okinawa, he deployed to Kabul,
  Afghanistan in November 2006 as part of a newly established Afghan National Army Embedded Training
  Team. There he served as an operations and intelligence trainer, mentor and advisor.

  
  Since August 2007 Major Frey has been a Deputy Project Officer in the Strategic and Theater Sealift
  Program Office of PEO Ships, working to acquire the Joint High Speed Vessel. Earlier this year he was
  selected for promotion to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.
