Issues
Provide a dedicated sea-lift / sea base for the rapid movement of the aviation intermediate level (I-level) maintenance capability to sustain fixed and rotary-wing aircraft.
Provide strategic lift in a conventional container or Roll-On/Roll-Off (RO/RO) configuration
Provides selected, sea-based expeditionary logistics support to a MAGTF ACE.
Maintained in five day Reduced Operating Status-5 (ROS-5) by the Maritime Administration (MARAD), a component of the Department of Transportation (ADCON and OPCON). Upon Activation – OpCon transfers to Military Sealift Command (MSC) (ADCON stays MARAD).
T-AVB usable life expires 2019 (Curtiss) and 2020 (Wright).
Loss of T-AVB capabilities in 2019 will include the loss of dedicated sea base for employment of a tailored aviation Intermediate Maintenance Activity (IMA) to support fixed and rotary wing aircraft. 
Loss of T-AVB capability will cause an adverse effect on TRR and loss of the following; Ability to exploit T-AVB comm suite, opportune lift, MALSP node, tailorable off-load, and loss of sea base platforms
