Military Sealift Command (MSC), the U.S. Navy’s sea transportation command, continues to support coalition troops engaged in Operations Enduring and Iraqi Freedom. On March 9, MSC-chartered ship MV Tor Futura arrived in Szczecin, Poland, to load nearly 85,000 square feet of Polish army cargo including trucks, trailers and various containers of combat equipment. This cargo is bound for Afghanistan where Polish troops are serving on the front lines of the global war on terrorism. “Helping our coalition partners with the logistics of delivering combat equipment to their troops on the ground in a war zone is an important part of MSC’s job," said Capt. Nick Holman, commander of MSC’s European headquarters, Sealift Logistics Command Europe.
