Geographical Guidelines:

1. An MLB's design limits its use to short transits. The asset and unit are not crewed for continuous steaming and is normally limited to daylight transits. Due to crewing and asset employment standards, 4 days transit is the limit of crew endurance under normal operating conditions. 8 hours of transit per day is the planning factor due to crew fatigue. MLBs have a maximum speed of 20 kts, however, environmental factors frequently limit average speed to less than maximum.

2. Foreseeable costs (crew lodging, messing, rental vehicles, fuel, and authorized crew travel in accordance with the Joint Travel Regulations) will be added to the pricing and will be an economic consideration for award.”
