Where can I learn more about a Heavy Boat Company, Transportation in the USAR?

I found a LG command slot in the USAR for such a company, but there is nothing on it at all (other than the posted vacancies), and I can't find contact information below the Theater Command level. Actually, it's not even contact information, it's just who it rolls up under. I'd have to blindly reach out to the 377th TSC until I found someone in the know. I presume the unit is new, as there are 90+ vacancies and it is not listed on FMSWEB.

Last I heard, GEN Perna had decided to roll up RC watercraft units. I do not know if they were saved or that decision delayed. Maybe that explain the 90+ vacancies as they draw it down. These units very much would have an MTOE on FMSWeb. Are you looking by SRC or UIC?

I would have loved being a boatie. Just didn't go my way.

CPT Private RallyPoint Member … I think that they still exist, but I also believe they lost all their ships to the active component. So any actual training or ship drills must be done via Simulation or a co-use MOA with an active duty unit.

There was a USAR Landing Craft Company at Eglin AFB, FL (Camp Rudder) that was often called on to support the Ranger School. I believe it was heavy with Warrant Officers. Best of Luck!

Do you have a UIC Sir? I can look it up in AVE.

Sir, all Army reserve watercraft units were disbanded I wanna say about a year ago. The 90 vacancies are likely the empty manning slots that were reclasses or otherwise departed the unit.

Update. Like many have said here, the Boat Companies are no more (confirmed by said BC of now defunct unit). Bummer.
