<p>The  Navy  currently  operates  eleven  overseas  ocean terminals  while  the  Military  Traffic  Management  Command  (MTMC) operates  sixteen.  This  study  focuses  on  comparing  Navy  and MTMC  overseas  ocean  terminals  in  the  areas  of  booking,  cargo accountability  functions,  billing  systems,  electronic  data, in-transit  cargo  visibility,  chain  of  command,  mobilization, and  rates.  This  data,  which  was  obtained  primarily  from  phone and  personal  interviews  from  terminal  managers  and  comptroller personal  at  both  Navy  and  MTMC  terminals,  is  used  to  determine if  it  would  be  to  the  Navy's  advantage  to  convert  some,  or all,  of  its  overseas  terminals  to  Navy-owned,  MTMC-operated terminals.  It  is  concluded  that  the  Navy  could  benefit  in several  areas  if  the  conversion  to  MTMC  operations  were  made. A  discussion  of  seven  of  these  benefits  is  presented  in expanded  detail.
