January 27, 2015
WHITE BEACH NAVAL BASE, Okinawa, Japan (Jan. 26, 2015) - Soldiers with the 10th Support Group (Regional) aboard the U. S. Army Landing Craft Utility, USAV Port Hudson (LCU 2035), aligned the loading ramp to the stern ramp of the Military Sealift Command prepositioning vessel, USNS Sgt. Matej Kocak (T-AK 3005), to transfer supplies and vehicles between watercraft. The ramp-to-ramp loading method enabled Soldiers to drive vehicles between vessels, while other Soldiers simultaneously loaded 379 containers in less than 33 hours using a port-side crane from the LCU and the USNS Kocak.
