The MCS is an assemblage of interoperable and interchangeable components which constitute the Army's primary means of augmenting existing port facilities, or conducting logistics over-the-shore (LOTS) operations where no port is available due to shallow water or low-sloping beach gradients prevent access by deep draft vessels, or because ports are otherwise inaccessible or denied to deep draft shipping.
