The recent MSC statistic report describes that at the present time there are approximately 110 ships on a daily basis operating on support mission across the globe.

In this effort one of its main tasks is for Replenishment At Sea (RAS). In the recent years with much synchronized joint efforts of the U.S and European Naval Forces in the various global missions, the MSC also has notably expanded its supporting tasks to the European Naval Forces. Its operations continue to insert the vital support, not only to the United States Navy but also for NATO Allies–encompassing from the Cold War era, the Gulf War, Iraq and Afghanistan missions– and to the most ongoing operations of the present time, inter alia, the NATO and EU in the counter-piracy. In the years followed the 1949, the role of Military Sealift Command (MSC), developed and commenced to project itself more significantly. A few years later in 1949 the formation of the Military Sea Transportation Service, as a distinguished agency, was materialized to provide ocean transportation support for the U.S Department of Defense.

Its history goes back to the second world war– even though at that time the MSC was not established as the independent agency. The United States Military Sealift Command (MSC) is a Military Naval Agency to support transportation for the U.S Navy at seas and oceans.
