The critical distribution management components are

across the distribution networks provides tracking of requests, issues, returns, repairable items, excess items, and retrograde items, with total transparency across all systems

provides near real-time digital information at any point in the distribution system, providing information on parts, assemblies, other commodities, and end items in storage sites by location and quantity of assets available

provides the capability to track the identity, status, and location of units, cargo, passengers, patients, and lift assets from point of origin to final destination. ITV is the transportation "slice" of the DOD TAV initiative

A system’s infrastructure dictates the capacity of the distribution system and logistics pipeline flow. The ability to anticipate logistics bottlenecks, disruptions, and changes in the distribution operational scheme allows distribution managers to optimize a theater’s distribution capacity

The distribution manager can exercise control through the ability to identify the contents of shipments and monitor their location as shipments move from origin to destination

The ..... of the pipeline has ....performed by Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) and United States Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM). Activities that perform the traditional supply functions, acquisition and materiel management, and asset visibility

is DOD’s lead for stock positioning and distribution with depots located through the United States, Europe, Pacific Theater, and Southwest Asia

provides supply support, technical and logistics services to the military services, DOD agencies, and selected foreign governments procuring supplies and spare parts to support customers logistics needs

is responsible for creating and implementing world-class global deployment and distribution solutions, providing air, land, and sea transportation. USTRANSCOM is the single entity to direct and supervise execution of the strategic distribution system. The following activities support the USTRANSCOM strategic distribution mission

USTRANSCOM

provides strategic and tactical airlift, air refueling, and aero-medical evacuation services for deploying, sustaining and redeploying U.S. forces

provides sealift transportation services to deploy, sustain, and redeploy U.S. forces around the globe. Sealift ships principally move unit equipment from the United States to theaters of operation all over the world. MSC operates a fleet of pre-positioned ships strategically placed around the world and loaded with equipment and supplies to sustain Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Defense Logistics Agency operations

Surface Deployment & Distribution Command provides ocean terminal, commercial ocean liner service and traffic management services to deploy, sustain, and redeploy U.S. forces on a global basis. The command is responsible for surface transportation and is the interface between DOD shippers and the commercial transportation carrier industry

If a soldier shoots it, drives it, flies it, wears it, or eats it, AMC provides it

is a result of the merger of the Logistics Integrated Database (LIDB) and the Integrated Logistics Analysis Program (ILAP)

What are the first and second segments of the strategic pipeline which operates the defense supply depot system:

What capability determines if the pipeline is responsive to customer needs?

Which organization integrates logistics with joint an strategic partners in the national sustainment base?

must coordinate the efforts of transportation modes, terminals, services, commands, contractors, and host nations during deployment, sustainment, and redeployment. The timely insertion of movement control capability into the area of operation is critical

Movement control authorities regulate moves to prevent terminal congestion and scheduling conflicts among Service components. Proper management of transportation assets and the transportation network is critical

This principle is simple: Keep transportation assets fully loaded and moving as much as the tactical situation permits. This includes the disciplined use of returning transportation assets to support retrograde of equipment, personnel, and supplies; and fast off-loading to return them to the system to increase capability for later operations

Movement control is the most critical component of a transportation system. It is also the linchpin for all transportation actions in a theater of operations. Movement control contributes significantly toward the success (or failure) of any operation. Effective movement control of forces, units, and logistics enhances combat effectiveness. Inadequate control results in reduced efficiency and loss of potential combat

UMC

Normally located in the S4 office, the brigade movement coordinator

Mobility Support Element The MSE is a new Transportation organization recently approved to support deployment and operational mobility for brigade, regiment, battalion and squadron headquarters

Prepares estimates, plans, and recommends policies for movement control, mode operations, and terminal operations. Preparing movement management policies

is responsible for surface, logistics air, rail, barge movements, and container management. This section coordinates support and maintains the status of transportation activities throughout the corps

performs highway regulation within the corps area. It coordinates with the TCE, other MCB highway traffic sections, DTOs, and appropriate HN authority, for any movements that originate in the corps area, but which terminate outside the corps

The corps MCB commander positions teams throughout the corps area to extend his control to critical transportation nodes, facilities, or operating units

DTO

Advisory:The DTO, as staff planner and an advisor. He provides the MCO with plans, policies, priorities, and assistance in transportation and movement control matters.
Planning : The DTO participates in the military decision-making process as a member of the division planning staff.
