Turbo Challenge
Turbo Challenge is a U.S. Transportation Command-sponsored exercise that tested and evaluated the capability of the Defense Transportation System to support the deployment and sustainment of forces to the Korean peninsula.
Turbo Challenge was MSC's capstone exercise for FY 2000. This U.S. Transportation Command-sponsored exercise tested and evaluated USTC and its component commands' ability to support the deployment and sustainment of forces to the Korean peninsula. As in past years, the exercise was teamed with Reception, Staging, Onward movement and Integration of forces (RSOI), a joint U.S.-Korean command post exercise. RSOI 2000 tested interoperability and the movement and reception of forces in the Korean theater. Command post exercises involve electronic communication and coordination without actual movement of ships and cargoes. MSC Headquarters, MSC Far East and MSC Office Pusan provided logistical support personnel to the Commander Pacific Fleet and U.S. Forces Korea for the exercise. MSC also assisted in the development, execution and assessment of the exercise.
In September 2002, the Maritime Administration tested that fleet's ability to activate within the four-day requirement by ordering 13 reserve ships to get ready for work. Exercise "Turbo Challenge" was the largest pop quiz the Ready Reserve Fleet ever conducted.
