Central Command Area of Responsibility (Jan. 26, 2003) -- The United States Army Vessel (USAV) Theater Support Vessel-1X (TSV-1X) Spearhead offloads a High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV) to the pier while at a port within the Central Command Area of Responsibility.  The 98 meter-long wave-piercing catamaran has an average speed of 40+ knots and will be utilized on missions which can take advantage of its speed and flexibility when transporting troops and cargo. The Spearhead is forward-deployed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. U.S. Navy photo by Photographer's Mate 1st Class Brien Aho.  (RELEASED)
