The National Port Readiness Network (NPRN) consists of Strategic Commercial Seaports able to support force deployment during contingencies and other defense emergencies. Nine federal agencies and organizations, USDOT/Maritime Administration (MARAD), U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Surface Deployment and Distribution Command (SDDC), U.S. Coast Guard (USCG), Military Sea-lift Command (MSC), U.S. Army Forces Command (USFORSCOM), Transportation Security Administration (TSA), U.S. Northern Command (USNORTHCOM), and U.S. Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) are responsible for providing guidance to the NPRN program and for supporting the secure movement of military forces through U.S. ports. This dataset includes all 18 commercial ports that currently belong to the NPRN. A data dictionary, or other source of attribute information, is accessible at https://doi.org/10.21949/1529080 This data provides users with information about the strategic ports and approximate locations and attributes for national and regional analysis application.
